Betty, the suites in this hotel are beautiful.

Want to see mine?

ON THE PREVIOUS EPISODE

Let's go to the room.

Armando is here.

He followed us. I just saw him downstairs.

Why'd you come up to my suite? To make Armando jealous?

No!

Are you sure?

I'll take you home.

It's for the best.

How did it go last night?

I don't feel like talking about that.

Was it that good?

I can't get over Armando!

Use your head, sweetie. The heart doesn't think.

The heart is so stupid sometimes!

I know.

I don't know how to get him out of my heart.

My daughter has really suffered because of you.

Now she has a chance to be happy.

Yes. With Joaquin.

With him.

Don't worry, ma'am.

I got the message loud and clear last night.

Your daughter doesn't love me or need me.

Don't worry.

I'll leave her alone.

Anything else?

No, that was all. Thank you very much.

Of course.

The days following my parents' death were the hardest.

Your parents were always there, though.

Supporting us.

We were just kids.

And you were always with me.

You came to see me every day.

I'd say I needed to borrow your computer

or that I needed help with my homework as an excuse.

I'd spend a long time thinking of the perfect excuse

so I could spend time with you...

and steal a kiss from you.

And you made me wait for ten years.

You were the one who made me wait.

-Armando. -Hm?

Thank you.

Thank you for always being there.

You're the one who's always been there for me.

I should be the one thanking you.

There's no need to thank me.

I do it because I love you.

Malu, you're finally here.

I was worried about you.

I wanted to join you, but couldn't.

It's okay.

I know you're a busy man and that this wasn't so important.

Don't say that. It was important.

I didn't want to bother your brother with my presence.

I wouldn't have minded if you'd bothered him for a bit.

I honestly don't care what he thinks.

Right now, you and our businesses are my priority.

In fact, I think it's about time we go public.

Already? So soon?

Yes.

We've been together for a while.

I don't see why not.

Unless you're hiding something.

Malu, please. I don't keep secrets from you.

You didn't tell me about your mother.

We already discussed that, didn't we?

If you want to tell everyone about us, you can.

I have no problem with it.

You know you're the love of my life.

I am?

Yes, honey.

I'm really hungry.

I have a surprise for you.

From now on you'll have to call me King Midas.

Why?

Because I turn everything I touch to gold.

Ready?

One, two...

-Kiss me... -Lovebug.

How could you get a gold tooth?

You look like a rocker from the Brunch.

-Bronx. -That.

I do, don't I?

It looks very strange, lovebug.

-I missed you a lot last night. -Me too.

How'd it go with your cousins?

Good, good. Very good.

We stayed in, in bed.

We watched Titanic, ate popcorn, and so on.

It was very wholesome.

One of their cousins said something you'll love.

She said she has an amazing business

and that if we give her our money,

she could get us ten times what we give her in three months.

Just imagine.

She can get us ten times our investment in three months?

Uh-huh.

-Wow. -Incredible, isn't it?

That's exactly what I need.

What we need.

Nicolas, you're brilliant.

I really think you'll go very far.

Thank you so much.

If you need anything, I'm here for you whenever.

Thank you!

No, you are.

Look, don't let a woman like her look down on you.

You should see this as you would an investment.

You have to hide your weaknesses and strengthen your skills.

Just... follow my lead.

Okay.

Nico... we should... Oh, I don't know.

-Yes! -Or you know what?

Better yet, come to my house in the Hamptons.

My parties are legendary.

So I've heard.

Plus, you're so fun, you'd be the life of the party.

Oh, thank you!

Yes, Nico!

Oh, you're so sweet.

Hi!

Am I interrupting?

No, I'm almost done.

Just a second.

It's an investor. I'll be right back.

Okay.

Let's see what else you're hiding from me.

What?

Marcela?

Marcela, I brought you your favorite coffee.

A venti double almond milk latte

with a shot of vanilla, whipped cream, and a chocolate drizzle.

Thank you.

I didn't think I'd see you again today.

I didn't want to leave you alone.

Come and sit with me.

I'm fine, Armando.

Seeing you during mass and venting to you today

was very good for me.

I was very unfair with you.

Why?

I betrayed you, I lied to you.

Believe me, I regret it.

You shouldn't have suffered because of me.

-Are you okay? -Yes.

What you said sounds weird.

You're acting strange.

No, I just realized you're the perfect woman for me.

Look...

This has always belonged to you.

No one will care for me or love me like you do.

This time, I promise to keep my word.

Marcela, will you marry me?

Marcela...

Ms. Malu...

Is everything okay? I heard a scream.

Yes, it's just that...

I hit myself.

-Be careful. -Sure.

Ms. Malu, I have what you asked.

-Malu. -Huh?

-Is everything okay? -Yes.

-Yes. -Be right back.

Me too. I'm okay too.

What are you doing?

I'm asking you to marry me again.

Marce, forget we're here.

Imagine we're somewhere in Central Park

and that this is the first time I'm asking you to marry me.

It's not that easy, Armando. A lot has happened between us.

Yes, and everything that happened was my fault.

I know.

It wasn't just your fault.

You don't have to do this.

And today's not the best day to do it either.

Besides, you don't love me.

I don't know, Marce.

We've been together for so long...

We've been through so much,

you've forgiven all of my mistakes and here we are.

You're doing this because of Beatriz, right?

She turned you down. What did she do now?

No, no. She's moving on and I am too.

I'm sure you're the perfect woman for me.

Oh, I don't know. I don't know, Armando.

What don't you know?

You don't know if you want to marry me?

Do you doubt yourself?

I don't doubt myself. I doubt you.

Okay, okay.

It's normal for you to doubt me.

If I were you, I'd have that idiot Armando Mendoza

stay far away from me.

I've tried to do it many times, but guess what?

I can't.

I love you, Armando. I really do.

And I'm lucky enough to be loved by you.

Marcela, let's make a deal.

You don't have to answer now.

Let's give each other a month.

A month. Come with me on a business trip I'm taking

through California and Texas.

What do you say?

Does it include San Francisco?

It could. And a weekend in Napa.

Okay, I'll go with you on that trip.

And yes.

I'm saying yes to being Mrs. Mendoza again.

Thank you for making such a sad day so special.

Is everything okay, Ms. Malu?

Did you know?

What?

That Ricardo and Marcela--

No. No, no, no.

I didn't know.

Sure you did.

You're his personal assistant

and you know everything about him.

Yes, but I'm very busy and I have to go.

Sandra, I'm dating Ricardo.

If he and my sister are involved, I need to know.

Please don't do this to me, Ms. Malu.

From one woman to another,

why were there pictures of Marcela in Ricardo's computer?

How am I supposed to know?

What I do know is that those pictures have been there for a while.

Was there anything suspicious going on between them?

Well, they used to spend a lot of time together a while back.

But then they stopped.

And... I need to ask you for a favor,

from one woman to another.

Don't mention anything I said because I could lose my job.

You can count on my silence.

From now on, you and I will be confidants.

Did you talk to Efrain?

Yes, yes. I did.

You should've seen him.

He went to the dentist and got a gold tooth.

It looked like something my grandfather wore.

He looked ridiculous, but he thought himself the Mambo King.

I meant the business!

Oh, the business. Yes, I mentioned that too.

He really liked the idea,

but he's really worried about handing over all of his money.

He's so cheap!

That's normal, Jenny. Talk him into trying it.

We can start with a small sum. If he likes the results,

we'll increase his investment portfolio.

Of course! That's what he said.

In fact...

Take it.

Lower.

-Wait! -Damn it!

This is the best decision you've ever made.

I love that!

I love how close you're standing to me.

People may think we're together, but we're not.

And vice versa. We really are.

They can think whatever they want.

You can thank me tonight.

-Of course. -I know how flexible you are.

Very flexible. You saw it yesterday.

Very flexible.

Hi, Giovas.

What's up?

Giovas...

What about Mariana?

Mariana?

Right, I feel a little bad

because she doesn't deserve this, but then...

Well, I don't feel bad. She started it.

What do you think, Ms. Marcela?

What do you think of Mr. Hugo Lombardi's collection?

Hugo, I know that what Beatriz asked you to do wasn't easy.

You're not used to designing for that target audience...

but I'm pleasantly surprised.

-You did an excellent job. -Thank you!

You're the best designer I know.

Oh, stop it.

Stop it.

I feel like I just took a test. Stop it!

Please know that V&M's future is in my hands.

Therefore, I ask that you buy the fabrics I chose, Armie.

Nothing more, nothing less. Agreed?

Mr. Hugo, you'll get the fabrics you selected.

The budget for them has already been approved.

Thank you, Mr. Armando.

Congratulations, Hugo.

I think this is exactly what the market needs.

Congratulations!

Stop it.

Champagne's here!

What?

Marce, you asked me to come in when I heard the applause.

Marce, did you request champagne to celebrate--

What was there to celebrate? You hadn't seen the designs.

Your designs weren't the reason why I requested it.

Then?

What are we celebrating?

Armando and I have once again decided...

to get married.

We're getting married!

Bravo!

I just don't get it, Mr. Huguito.

Why won't you let me walk the runway?

I'm hot.

Please understand that this show is for the average woman.

You're a fit model.

Remember that you're a hanger. You don't speak.

Right, right.

First I wasn't pretty enough and now I'm too beautiful.

I don't get you!

I know!

You have something against me.

I can't stand your presence, your essence, your aura.

That mop on your head is tacky

and your pronunciation of the English language is terrible.

But no, I have nothing against you.

Mr. Huguito, tell me what I have to do and I'll do it.

If you want me to trot down the runway like a horse, I will.

For this runway, you'd have to ingest many calories

and put on some weight.

It's for women who are overweight.

Give me 24 hours and I'll be as big as a seal, a sea seal.

All seals are sea seals.

As are sea lions and elephant seals,

but what's the point of explaining that to you?

-Leave. -Yes.

Oh, what am I saying?

There's no way of turning you off or making you understand.

I'm the one who's leaving.

Wow!

Didn't I tell you?

Didn't I say Armando would go back to his old self?

It was just a matter of time and being patient.

What about Ricardo?

Ricardo?

What's Ricardo got to do with anything?

I don't know. You tell me.

He seemed very affected when he heard about the engagement.

Is that so?

I don't know. Maybe he feels lonely.

No, it's something else.

Ricardo looks at you in a special way.

It's as if something happened between you two.

Don't say that!

Of course not. It's just that...

Oh, I don't know. We're just friends.

Are you sure?

Maybe he has feelings for you and you haven't noticed.

Maria Lucia, why are you asking me all this?

Oh, I'm just repaying you for the advice you gave me.

You told me to be wary of him,

but I think you're the one who should be wary of him.

ONE MONTH LATER

Something's wrong.

Something's wrong!

There's still time.

Show a bit of common sense, Ines.

Stop feeling so nervous. Everything's going to be fine.

Everything's going to be fine?

This runway show was the troll's idea.

You know she doesn't know the first thing about beauty.

Take a look at this.

My models will look hideous in these dresses.

Know what the press will say?

The Divine Hugo now designs for the masses.

Enough, Hugo.

You took the challenge, designed like a maniac,

and now you want to back down? No, no, no.

We're doing this runway show.

Whatever you say, Divine Ines.

I work for you know. You're the boss.

-Let's go. -Let's.

I'm walking down that runway no matter what.

You'll see.

Thank you, Ms. Catalina. You didn't have to do this.

Catalina, Betty.

We know each other well enough. There's no need for titles.

Besides, I'm your PR agent

and I need you to look fabulous today.

Oh, I know today's a very important day

and that's precisely why I'm a little nervous.

There's no need to be. Everything will be fine.

You have everything you need to get what you want out of life.

You look beautiful, Betty.

I admire you very much.

And I'd like to congratulate you for tonight's success.

You'll see.

-Thank you. -Chin up.

Hello.

How are you?

It's great to see you.

Have fun!

Good evening.

Hello! Have fun!

Marcela, you look beautiful.

Armando.

Your parents are over there.

Yes.

Betty...

I need to steal her away for a moment.

-Just a moment. -Of course.

-Excuse me. -Of course.

I'm so excited!

Betty.

We have a problem.

What?

The models aren't coming.

Bravo, bravo!

What are you looking at?

Do you like that fatso?

-No, no. -Let's go.

-We're leaving! -What do you mean?

The show isn't over yet.

I'll break that tooth of yours and you'll have to get a new one.

-Lovebug-- -Gold.

Don't get mad. We're watching...

Come on!

I can see you staring at her. Do you like her ass?

Do you?

Bask in the glory.

This applause is for you.

Enjoy it.

Good job, Ines.

Thank you.

On behalf of V&M I'd like to thank Hugo

for the collection that was unveiled.

I'm sure this line will change the fashion world and this company.

Congratulations, Hugo!

Sorry, but someone very important is missing.

Betty.

Bravo, Betty!

Betty isn't only V&M's president.

She helped open our eyes

and taught us that beauty is more than skin deep.

Most importantly, we learned that anyone

can be whatever they want to be.

Thank you, Betty!

Betty, the trust we placed in you

was an investment whose return far exceeded our expectations.

Thank you for everything you did for V&M.

There's no need to thank me, Mr. Roberto.

I made a commitment and I'm happy I saw it through.

Besides, we all took part in this success.

You're right about that, Beatriz.

I'm so happy being ugly is in style.

Thank you, Betty!

No, this isn't about being pretty or ugly.

It's about being real.

Also, Dad loved the collection and he's willing to sell it.

That's right.

Wonderful!

The best part is that V&M will return to its original owners.

Everything will go back to normal.

And Armando and Marcela are getting married.

-Cheers! -Cheers!

Cheers!

Well, if you don't mind, I'll go greet everyone else.

I'm coming with you.

We'll be in touch.

-Of course. -I'll call you.

-Thank you. -Congratulations!

Thank you.

You shouldn't have said that, Margarita.

Cheers.

Were you involved with the company that burned down in India?

Where'd you hear that?

Our sources tell us that the FBI is investigating

your role in the company.

It seems you're more involved than you're willing to admit.

I had nothing to do with it, so get your mic away from me.

Get out of here!

Calm down, Daniel.

-I'm so sorry. -No, I'm fine!

-Forgive him. -Don't worry.

Tell us about the runway show. How do you feel about it?

I'm happy. Thank you for being here.

You're so sweet.

Oh! Mr. Hugo.

I'd like to congratulate you on the amazing job you did today.

I wish you the very best

and many more successes like it in your career.

Beatriz, I didn't come over so you'd flatter me.

I know all that.

I know I'm the best at everything I do.

-Right. -I'm here...

to thank you.

What did you say?

Just that.

I'm very grateful to you.

For everything you've done for me.

Above all, I want to thank you for what you did about Fabio.

You knew the truth and tried to tell me, but I didn't listen.

Beatriz,

I know I'm obsessive about harmony, beauty

and that I'm always in search of external beauty...

but I want you to know...

that when it comes to this...

no one is more beautiful than you.

Thank you.

Enough of that. Leave.

Otherwise, I'll have you sing "He Lied To Me."

Bravo!

Congratulations, son.

Congratulations.

I've finally realized your dream can come true,

and that V&M needs new blood.

I thought you weren't ready to run this company,

but now I know you're the right person for the job.

Dad.

Son, I want you to know that I'm very proud of you.

Listen, success isn't measured by how many victories you have

but rather by how you overcome your defeats.

I love you, son.

-I love you too. -Very proud.

I love you too.

What is it, Efrain? What do you need?

Do you remember when we opened the pest control company?

We were very young.

We'd opened our business and we were doing well.

I remember.

Seeing you on that runway,

you looked the same as back then.

You looked young, happy...

Carefree.

There was nothing you couldn't do.

I remembered how much I loved you.

And I also remembered the boys.

Our sons, Sofia.

We did everything for them, huh?

For my family.

Yes.

Thank you for my sons, Efrain.

In any case,

our lives are headed in different directions,

taking different paths, and there's no going back now.

Yes, but...

Despite this...

I realized I still love you, Sofia.

Do you think that if we made an effort...

we could be happy?

Why are you hitting me?

I heard everything you said!

I heard it!

It's okay, though. We'll be together forever.

Understood?

Yes! Yes, yes, yes!

-Let's go home. -Yes, I understand.

Sofia!

-I understand! -We're going home!

My Greek goddess. My Aphrodite.

Today, we'll get a taste of the sweet nectar of passion.

There's something I need to do first.

Yeah...

No, you can't take that! Give me that!

They can't be mixed with alcohol!

Well, after seeing all this...

I don't think I need my pills.

I can feel it now!

What's the rush?

Why don't we have another drink?

All right.

Now I'll show you

what the interludes of lovemaking sound like.

God, if you're really there, please hear me out.

I know I'm not a good person, but if you spare me,

I swear I'll do charity work for the rest of my life.

I'll even be nice to the Squad.

I need a miracle!

Are you okay?

I killed him!

Success!

Armando, what are you doing here?

I'm here to toast to your success.

The peace champagne.

Cheers.

To the future of V&M

And to you.

This company is really going to miss you.

No, I won't be missed that much.

In fact, we should celebrate V&M's grand entrance

into the world of ready-to-wear.

It was all thanks to you.

You made two of my dreams come true.

You helped V&M grow...

and you helped me fall in love for real.

Armando, please.

It's okay.

I just want one last hug. Please?

I promise not to bother you again.

Please?

Bertha!

Bertha, what's wrong?

What's wrong?

What's the matter, Bertha?

Help!

Bertha!

What's the matter?

Leave her alone.

I'll handle it.

Bertha!

Come on.

-It's out. -Sit down.

-Is it out? -Yes, it's out.

I'll go get some water.

Berthita, are you okay? Why'd you get like that?

What happened?

Nothing happened.

I told her a joke while she was eating her empanada

and I think it got stuck.

-Yeah. -It was the joke.

-Are you okay? -She's fine.

She got it. Everything's fine now.

Thank you. Thank you so much.

Everything's fine. Go get some rest.

-Girls... -No, don't.

Stay right here until your blood pressure stabilizes.

It's not what you think.

I was going to kiss her on the cheek and she turned...

but it's because she turned.

Yes, yes. I turned the other way.

So it was a coincidence?

An accident.

An accident that lasted half an hour?

No, there's nothing going on.

I think there's something going on between you two.

-You two are bumping uglies. -No, Bertha.

What do you mean? I saw it.

-Bertha. -What?

Please don't gossip about this.

Gossip? About what?

I know you love to gossip, but please don't.

Please don't tell anyone about this.

No one?

-Please! -No one?

-Not even my husband? -No! No one!

What will it take for you to keep your mouth shut?

-Should I tell you? -Yes.

Nothing.

I...

Oh, he's alive. Nothing.

I owe you one.

I can't believe it, Joaquin! When did you get back?

I just got off the plane.

Don't I get a hug, a kiss? Didn't you want me to come back?

I did. Welcome back!

Can you believe Joaquin showed up unexpectedly?

You didn't catch me off guard, you shameless rascal.

-Breakfast is ready. -Oh, don't--

Let's go before it gets cold.

Don't worry, Ms. Julia. I had something on the plane.

I won't take no for an answer.

I made some eggs a la Mexicana that are delicious.

Okay.

We're celebrating Betty's success last night.

Stop it, sweetheart.

Mr. Quiroz doesn't need to be overfed.

He already said no and no means no.

He said no because he's embarrassed.

Joaquin, you're the only one who was missing.

Patri, I don't understand how you can date that old man

just for his money.

And I can't understand why you're dating

that peroxide blonde Cindy.

She has a boyfriend in every state.

Patri, Cindy is someone I work with.

She's very sweet and she's not with me out of interest.

Unlike you and that old man.

Also, I'm in love with her hazel eyes.

She wears contacts, Nicolas!

-Really? -Obviously!

-And do you know why she's dating you? -Why?

Because she's the easiest woman on the planet.

She's never turned anyone down!

Nicolas, please tell me what's so interesting about her.

Well, she finished her Finance degree at DUI.

You were only there for three months.

Three semesters!

Three semesters, whatever.

Patri, I can talk to her, okay?

Okay. That's nice.

Hey, hey!

"Hugo Lombardi focused on the women

that the fashion industry has ignored for decades."

-Wow! -It's true.

They've finally realized that I'm a genius.

Congratulations on your designs.

It's incredible!

I know you tried to sabotage yesterday's show.

And that you passed yourself off as me and gave the models a different address.

-No. -And because of that...

you're fired.

What do you mean fired? That's not true!

Oh, I know. Someone is badmouthing me.

That's not true.

I know what you want.

You want to fire me because I put on a little weight.

A little.

Fire me. I don't care.

I have the best lawyer in New York.

You'll probably end up paying me a quarter of a million dollars.

Ines, please call the police.

What? The police?

-The police? -Or ICE.

You're corrupt!

You're all... Take this!

You're corrupt...

Fat! You made me fat, but I'll show you.

Keep reading.

Don't you dare, Mr. Armando.

Don't even think about ringing the doorbell.

Ms. Julia, how'd you know I--?

I caught a glimpse of you from the window.

Good thing I got to you on time.

Ma'am, I need to talk to your daughter.

I know she's inside.

You can't.

You're not going to talk to Beatriz right now.

And you know what?

I don't want you coming by my house anymore.
