Who is Eloísa Obregón?

There she is.

Mrs. Eloísa.

A loving 50-year-old mom with three grown kids.

Please turn to the camera.

HEY, SUGAR MOMMY SEASON IS OPEN!

A photo, please.

Please, get closer.

ENJOY THAT BOY TOY, QUEEN!

Eloísa Obregón.

A wealthy socialite at the heart of a high-stakes affair

between her husband, Octavio Hidalgo,

lawyer to billionaire Enrique Villalobos

and Pablo Casas, the firebrand journalist

who publicly accused Villalobos

after Serrano's suicide.

They caught me post-ballet, sweaty as hell.

Not even grandma's that dramatic.

Youre not the target. Our mom is.

You think I am dramatic?

They thought my teacher's son

was my little brother.

There are paparazzi parked outside the law firm.

Why?

They keep asking if my parents hate each other.

I love how no one cares

that my mom went viral

and turned into a joke.

Seriously.

So what?

The podcast just kept the rumors about Eloísa going.

Everyone acts like they're still a couple.

If they drop the ́Hidalgo'

it's no longer a story about cheating.

It's not profitable.

Excuse me.

You should stay away from Eloísa.

You'll both be better off.

It was a setup.

Whoever asked that question

knew I was getting fired.

If this is about blaming me, I'll leave right now.

That's not what I meant.

I trust you.

Really.

Then who was it?

The press conference

was just two hours after you quit.

No idea.

It wasn't random.

It was someone with real power, someone influential.

Mr. Casas.

Manuel Obregón. They called him radical.

Way ahead of his time.

He helped launch the Solidarity Banquet.

It's a great cause.

It wasn't just me, but thank you.

Shame it's sold out.

Though, at that price a seat.

yeah, a bit outside my range.

Understandable.

I'm unemployed, you know.

Thanks to your charming chat

with Mrs. Elisa's nephew.

I have to admit it.

I underestimated you.

When you told me to stay away from your daughter,

I didn't think you had the clout to get me fired from the magazine.

No.

All I did was flag

the conflict in your article.

Firing you was their decision.

And the leak at the press conference?

Come on, think.

I wouldnt hurt my daughter.

Well, you didn't think

it would backfire on her.

I'm calling Eloísa. God knows what lies you fed her.

I haven't spoken to her. She doesn't know.

Good.

Is this blackmail? Say it straight.

No, it isnt.

I'm protecting my daughter.

I get it.

Parents cross lines for their kids.

I'm not judging you.

I want the journalist's name.

Youre wrong.

No, Im right.

They used that leak

to kill my story, the one on Ismael Serrano.

Just give me the name, and this ends today.

Alright.

You should leave now.

Were done here.

Rosí!

To the press twisting this for clicks.

You're using this story to stir scandal.

Back off, or face legal consequences.

Thank you for the interview.

Thank you.

There you have it, that was attorney Octavio Hidalgo.

I know I said no one from the group should speak,

but I couldn't stay silent.

That's understandable.

Okay, but. Octavio.

I get it.

Even if it's awkward for you and Eloísa,

it worked.

Everyone's forgotten about Serrano.

Wasn't it planned?

Its too convenient.

No one in their right mind

would want to look like a fool.

Enrique, this isn't.

You're right.

It's not a joke.

You'll be okay. A bond like that doesn't break easy.

No more statements, okay?

Got it, Enrique.

I have a meeting now.

Actually, I need a minute with Norma.

Gabriela.

Babe, that wasn't the time.

It was the perfect time.

It was the perfect time. He called you a cuckold.

- Enrique isn't easy to deal with. - Yeah, whatever.

What do you want from me?

I want to know if we even have a future.

I'm tired of coming second.

Look, girl.

You're the most envied woman alive.

Two guys are fighting over you.

That's not how it feels.

They see it as a woman

who cheated on her husband,

with the guy investigating him.

I tell it from a feminist view. They twist it into sexism.

That's what's killing me.

Everyone gets to decide how to see it.

They've said everything about me. I haven't said a word.

I need to change that.

Think about it, okay?

Renata?

I need Sara Lazarous.

Wait, is Eloísa sure about this?

She's open to everything.

Can you help me?

Yes, of course.

Tell her Im on it.

No, wait. She doesn't know I called you.

Look.

She's crazy in love with you.

But for some reason, she wants to handle this alone.

I know.

I'll wait for her.

You better.

Thanks, Ren.

Are you okay?

Yeah.

It's been rough since the press conference.

My dad, right?

He's mad at the world. He left without saying goodbye.

Tomás's interview was canceled.

We'd been waiting a month.

We need that job.

- Because of the baby? - Yeah.

Congratulations!

Sorry, just blurted it out.

No, it's okay.

You're the first to say that. I don't know how to take it.

I promise I'll find a way to help.

Thank you so much.

See you. Get some rest.

Bye, you too.

Hi.

Hey.

What is it?

Well.

Does this bother you?

Not at all. Quite the opposite.

I got to the hotel and.

I suddenly thought, why am I there alone?

When I could be here.

I won't be second best.

I left Eloísa for you. You're my only choice.

Then we should celebrate.

Yeah.

What about dinner?

We could invite Antonia.

Okay.

I'm shocked he made it this far alone.

I gave it a week

He wasn't alone. He lived in a hotel.

No cooking, no cleaning, no making the bed. Easy life.

Room service and Gabriela on demand.

Same as home.

You still sound angry at him.

I was over it, until I heard him on the radio.

He should've made it clear Eloísa cheated on him.

He left that out because it benefits him.

And Villalobos.

That's why Gabriela's still upset.

And it'll get worse once they see what Eloísa does.

Octavio's gonna regret it for the rest of his life.

- What's she doing? - Guess it.

Friends' secrets stay buried, for about two years.

I'm gonna haunt you until the day I die.

And what Carmela said about it?

Did she go to Colombia?

Nope, she didn't go.

Looks like Fernando's coming to stay a while.

Come in, please.

- Thank you. - You're always welcome.

But you shouldnt be here.

Why not?

You're a beautiful woman.

People love to run their mouths.

You are not funny.

And you're not tough either.

This isn't a joke to me.

This is for you.

Use the money however you want.

You have needs.

What's this check for, exactly?

For not making a thing out of the press conference.

And making sure no one,

not even Eloísa, knows we had this talk.

Don't you care about your daughter?

Of course I care.

It affects me.

My daughter is strong. She'll get through this.

What do we call this, bribe, blackmail, or extortion?

None of that.

It's simply compensation for the job you lost.

That's all.

Thank you, Mr. Carmela. But I don't accept charity.

Parents may cross lines for their family.

Your words.

Think about my offer,

and about your son.

Good afternoon.

- You know the way out. - I do.

- Hi, honey. - Hi, Dad.

Thanks for coming.

- Hey. - Hello, Octavio.

- Thanks for including me. - Come in.

- Thanks. - Hello.

- We brought this. - Thanks.

This is Gabriela.

Hi.

We brought some wine.

You didn't have to.

- Our pleasure. - I'll open it.

Since you haven't had the time, I asked Tomás to bring his résumé.

Okay.

I'll help Gabriela.

Of course. Sit down.

- This is delicious, Antonia. - Thank you for hosting.

I'm super nervous.

Everything will go fine.

- I'll grab a glass. - Sure.

If you need a reference

I can get it, okay?

Don't worry.

My daughter told me about you.

But I'm not hiring you.

Okay.

Can I ask why?

Youre dating now,

but youve got a lot ahead of you.

Who knows? In a few months, you might break up.

Which would be normal at your age.

If things went south, I'd have to fire you.

I don't think we'll break up.

You never know.

Let's keep it simple. Go to another firm.

Bernie, what's up? Tell me.

Okay.

Thank you.

- That was good. - Yeah.

Can I get you some tea?

No.

I need something stronger.

Is it about George?

- Jeffrey. - Jeffrey.

Don't even mention that jerk. He doesn't care about school.

He ditched everything

for a Botox spa.

I'm sorry.

Damn it.

I'm such an idiot for putting the loan in my name.

How much do you owe?

A million.

What?

Come on, Julieta.

What did you get, gold bars or what?

Pablo, what is this?

- Where did you find it? - Right there.

- It shouldn't be there. - Who gave it to you?

Carmela, Eloísa's mother.

Why?

Apparently she has pull at the magazine

and got me fired.

What?

I quit, but whatever.

She thinks money fixes everything.

Well, she owes you.

Given what she did, and her daughter's chaos.

It isnt Eloísas fault.

Are you together?

No. We're taking a break.

I'll shred it now.

Sure.

I can shred it.

- The water's boiling. - Thanks.

I can go to the bank tomorrow, and ask for a loan.

Not sure how much I'll get, but something's better than nothing.

No, come on.

This is my mess.

You just focus on finding work.

What time are we picking up Daní?

Around ten a.m.

Do you need help?

No, don't worry.

Where's my dad?

He got a call. He left.

He's avoiding us

It must be important. He'll be back soon.

So, shall we speak with him when he gets back?

- Okay. - No way.

Shes in a podcast.

- What? - Who?

Eloísa's doing an interview.

My mom?

Bernie sent me the link.

Can't you watch that later?

- It can wait. - Yeah.

Gabriela's right. Let's just eat.

No, honey.

Tomorrow it could be another mess.

Who knows what she'll say.

There it is.

She's been at the center of every headline.

But now, Eloísa Obregón finally speaks.

Welcome to today's episode,

Eloísa, Uncovered.

Hello, Sara.

She looks beautiful.

Yeah, she really does.

People love to talk, but they don't know me.

They only know the story someone else wrote.

Thank you for giving me a voice.

Thank you for welcoming me into your home.

Your art studio. This space.

I can't think of a better place.

When I'm here painting or sculpting,

I'm not a mom, or a daughter, or a sister, or wife, or friend.

I'm just Eloísa.

Eloísa Obregón.

You handled that like a good ex-wife would.

You look gorgeous, girl.

Ren helped me with the makeup

and the outfit.

Sammy's an artist.

You're pretty.

- Thanks. - You look great.

Pretty, sexy, and stunning.

- Cheers. - Cheers.

To Eloísa, uncovered.

I'm off to work, but I'll watch it later.

Bye. Take care.

Can you imagine Octavio's face right now?

- Frozen. - Totally.

Believe it or not,

one of the top things

people ask online is: Who is she?

I've asked myself that too

and I'm still searching.

I've been many things.

First, a daughter to a father who adored me,

who I never wanted to disappoint.

Then a housewife,

a mom to three amazing kids,

still scared of failing them too.

And finally,

Octavio Hidalgos wife.

A marriage that lasted 25 years.

Are you afraid of disappointing him too?

Why is it that women are so scared to disappoint?

And for men, it's totally different.

You didn't answer my question, but I got the message.

Eloísa, what caused the breakup?

A lot's been said.

It's not the story people are telling.

Pablo Casas wasn't part of it.

Just rumors.

Whats wrong?

Are you okay?

What I can say is

what Octavio implied

at the press conference

just isn't true.

Glad Eloísa's not making things worse, huh?

Remind me to thank her.

Ill check dinner.

Do you agree with Pablo Casas,

that this whole scandal is just a way to distract

from Ismael Serrano's death?

Well.

I think about the pain Mr. Serrano's widow must feel.

I think about the shame the other woman must carry.

Thats why Im doing this.

To take back control

with my head high and no fear.

On the legal side, I'll stay quiet.

My ex-husband has ties to the Villalobos Group.

What is she implying?

I don't care.

Your daughter came to talk to you.

Where are they?

In the bathroom.

What do you mean?

Let's just go home.

Today's not the right time.

I'm done being scared of him.

What's going on?

I was sick.

Did you eat something bad?

We didn't even eat.

So?

I'm pregnant.

And we're getting married,

not because we have to, but because we want to.

Dad, say something.

It's not like I planned this.

No, of course not.

Pregnant at your age?

Don't you have any sense at all?

- How far along are you? - Four and a half months.

Four and a half months?

Does your mom know?

No, and I didn't either. I have a condition,

and there've been issues.

Which you don't care about.

You're ruining your life.

Am I ruining mine, or just yours?

You just finished law school.

You have a bright future.

You'll regret this forever.

We're leaving.

Screw you, Tomás.

You're ruining her life.

- We're leaving. - Enough.

- Enough. - Look.

- Wait. Antonia. - Thank you, Gabriela.

Seriously, Octavio?

She's 23.

She could've prevented it.

Calm down. It's just a baby.

Just a baby?

She was terrified.

I thought youd support her.

Easy to judge when it's not your kid.

You were the first to know.

Doesn't it mean anything?

Im leaving.

Where? Wait. Ill go with you.

No.

I need to be alone.

Honey.

Your call felt like a dream.

This week dragged without you.

Come in.

I'm lost, love.

What do you mean?

Did your dad get to you?

- Is that what you want? - Me?

I want us to decide, not him.

Im trying.

Maybe my dad's right.

A baby ruins things. And he won't hire you.

There are other jobs, you know.

Law jobs aren't easy.

That's why I said “other.”

Ive been thinking.

I'm questioning defending guys like Villalobos.

Do you want a new career?

No, Im not.

Not a new career, a new path.

Maybe.

Something I actually love.

Writing.

Seriously, Tomás? Unbelievable.

What? Now what?

What?

I'm pregnant, and you're falling apart.

Now what?

We'll be okay, Toni.

Says who?

I don't know.

We'll figure it out.

This place, it's where I'm myself.

It's my safe place.

My calm.

This is your magic room.

See? I've started restoring it.

Come here.

The woman in the mirror.

You look like her.

I saw it in you from day one.

I never told anyone it's me.

Why?

I doubted myself.

I was ashamed.

They said I had a great figure,

A tiny waist, one arm could hold it.

Long, perfect legs.

All I thought was,

when did you kill me?

- Im sorry, I was. - You're.

You.

Now.

You're here, with me.

Eloísa, I love you.

Eloísa.

Eloísa.

Eloísa.

Mati.

Mati.

Nayeli.

Nayeli.

What the hell is this?!

- You have no right! - Seriously?!

- You heard her. Get out! - What was that, asshole?

Out! This is my house!

Calm down first. I'm not leaving her with you.

Watch your tone.

I need to talk to my wife first!

Ex-wife.

Let me clear a few things.

Ill talk to him.

Is it safe?

Yes.

- Sure? - Yes, I'm sure.

Is that why you have a studio?

So you can bang that jerk!

It's mine to use how I want.

You don't get a vote anymore. You moved on!

I am too.

Yeah, by some loser using you.

He's using you for money, I told you!

Hey, enough.

Malinalco was a mistake.

He paid me back.

You saw the money hit the account.

You're still seeing him?

I don't get it.

What's wrong with you?

Thanks to him, everyone thinks you're trash.

No, that's your fault.

You let them think I cheated.

- I was protecting you. - That's a joke.

You protected Villalobos.

You're just selfish.

And youre reckless.

In your kids' house.

You feel no shame.

For being with a man who actually wants me?

I feel no shame.

Yes, I'm here. But the kids aren't.

And you can't just barge in.

So just leave.

Who are you?

I'm not your wife now, but I'm the mother of your kids.

No, their mom.

used to be there.

She cared about their lives.

Yes, way more than you do now.

Stop judging me for wanting to live.

Antonia's pregnant.

Four and a half months.

What?

- Four? - And a half.

And her mom,

living with her,

who “knows it all”,

had no clue.

Now I get why.

So relax.

Just.

Keep putting yourself first.

That's all that matters now.

Antonia.
