What?

Fer, good morning.

Morning.

What is that?

I was checking your mail.

- Did you check it? -No.

Rosy handles my mail, not you.

I know. I'm sorry.

I was checking your bank statement,

and this check caught my eye.

Someone cashed a big one.

A lot of money.

What was that check for?

For not making a thing out of the press conference.

No one, not even Eloísa, can know we had this talk.

Thank you, Mr. Carmela.

I don't accept charity.

Parents may cross lines for their family.

He cashed it!

What are you talking about?

I offered Casas the money to walk away from your sister.

I left him the check.

If he cashed it, it means he's taking the deal.

Mom, how could you do that?

Fernanda, I'd do anything to protect your sister.

If he took the money,

why did he go to the event with her?

That's just bold.

Look.

He can't just walk away from Eloísa overnight,

not without a reason.

Let's wait and see.

I think he's got a plan to slowly pull away from your

sister.

Do you really think he's that calculating?

I'm not a fan of his, but he's sharp and clever.

I must admit that.

We need to tell Eloísa.

- Absolutely not. -Mom.

She'll never forgive me. Let's just see what Pablo does.

Let's watch his moves, then we'll know.

Octavio will be free soon.

He'll go home, where he belongs, with Eloísa.

You get it, right?

Where he belongs.

Of course.

You're right.

Whos the lucky girl?

It's a work thing.

Your cologne reached my bedroom.

Hes like your son.

You've got no shame.

Hey, Leti.

When did things start

between Samuel and Renata?

It was just once.

How do you know?

She told me.

Is Renata dumb or what?

She says all that ever happened was a kiss.

She said Samuel kissed her,

she pushed him off, and nothing else happened.

Assuming she's telling the truth. She was drinking last

night.

She said she only had one drink, in the bathroom.

All I know is she was really torn up.

She cried the whole way to her place.

You both took her?

Yeah, but don't worry.

I told Bernardo it was about Zoé.

I tried talking to Samuel last night, but he said there's

nothing to say.

Oh, girl.

He's 23. He's not 16 anymore.

Guys his age don't wanna talk about their love life with Mom.

I know.

I'm worried he's in love with her.

Even the best mom can't keep her kid from getting hurt,

from a broken heart.

Samuel's gonna have to go through it.

He's gotta learn just like the rest of us did.

What really worries me is Renata.

Something happened with Zoé.

She's a mess.

Will you forgive her?

Renata, open up.

I told you to wait.

Why?

You said we'd talk. I'm here.

I said we'd talk,

over the phone.

Well, I'm here now.

- Come on! -Where are you?

Help me.

I'm almost there.

- Renata. -Great.

Samuel! What's up?

Why are you here?

You said we'd talk.

- Please, leave. -No.

I told Pablo to come.

What?

Are you scared of me?

Your mom.

I don't want any drama. I need a witness.

You don't need anything. No one's confused.

Pablo stays, or you leave.

Come in.

Go on, come in.

- Thanks. -You're welcome.

Come on, let's talk.

Listen. I'll talk to her.

She can't control

- our lives. -No.

You're not talking to your mom. Don't call it our.

You feel something for me.

Affection.

The kind you feel for a nephew.

Actually, thanks to you, I'm now sure I'm going to hell.

I'm not your nephew.

You're a woman. I'm a man.

Are you nuts?

I'm your mom's friend

and you're her son. Be reasonable.

- Love isn't logical. -Love? Come on!

I've been with plenty of girls but I've never felt this way

before.

You can't have feelings for me.

It's too late.

You don't mean that.

Please, don't push me away.

Listen, Samuel.

Someday you'll make a woman happy, but that woman's not me.

It was just sex.

It could've been anyone.

I'm a mess.

Sex, alcohol.

they're just escapes.

Ways to run from my reality.

So what, you used me?

Yeah.

You were just another one.

What can I say?

It's just how I am.

No, wait.

So none of it meant anything?

Sam, look.

Things got out of hand.

And I admit it

I was a fool.

If you hate me, fine.

I know your mom does. She'll never forgive me.

So welcome aboard.

Pablo, take him home.

- Are you okay? -Yes.

Bye, Renata.

Wanna sit? Talk a bit?

About tips on dating older women?

Well, yeah, just one.

And it works no matter her age.

If she tells you to leave, you leave. Otherwise, it's

harassment.

I want to talk to her.

I get it.

She won't listen now.

So what, you're saying

what I feel isn't love because shes older?

That's hypocritical.

I'm saying you think it's love.

Maybe it's just desire. That's different.

How would you know?

Because love protects.

Desire creates anxiety.

If it feels like a drug, that's not love.

I'm just confused. I've dated

like ten women.

I've never felt anything like this.

Ten?

At 23?

Times have really changed.

Renata's like ten women in one.

Yes.

Love doesn't leave you confused.

When it's love, there's no doubt.

Your head and your heart just sync like magic.

Is that how you feel about mom?

Chin up.

It's hard now, but you'll be okay.

Come on.

Lets go.

- See you, Samuel. -See you.

- All done. -Thanks.

They canceled the strike.

They shut it down, dude.

Anyway, that's it. Go back to your client.

I'm canceling the meeting. The Villalobos are coming in.

Bye. We'll talk.

Norma, get the conference room ready.

Gabriela, come with me

Oh, babe.

I really needed good news.

I know.

How did you pull that off?

It seemed impossible.

Those idiots have a union, but they don't even know it.

Villalobos respects workers' rights,

but these idiots.

you have to remind them.

You reminded them, right?

Thats all.

- I must leave. -Sure.

Workers who withdrew from the strike were offered

a three-year renewal,

two extra weeks of vacation,

and a pay raise.

Sixty have accepted.

The strike is frozen.

Damn it.

People like him ruin this country.

Are we ever gonna win this war?

He's a tough enemy.

Sofía should at least admit

Hidalgo made her sign that thing.

It was a lie.

She won't.

She won't hear me out.

She says my article ruined her life.

- Maybe she'd listen to you. -No.

Think about it.

There's nothing to think about.

That woman is the reason my husband's dead.

You've got every right to shut me out.

But I can't pretend nothing happened.

Please understand.

I don't even know what to say.

I don't know, Sami.

- You came to lecture me? -Of course not.

I came to ask if you're in love with Renata.

Look, Mom. I've had enough with Pablo's speech.

When did you talk to him?

I went to see Renata.

She had him there as a witness while she shut me down.

Honestly.

him being there helped a lot.

That's good.

Yeah.

It kills me to know I messed up your friendship with her.

Don't feel guilty.

That's our business.

And I'll fix it.

Yeah, but I started it, Mom.

Even when we kissed.

Wait, okay, stop.

I came to ask how you are.

That's all.

I'm fine.

- Let's go. I have to work. -Yes.

Your message really surprised me.

We barely spoke at all

in the past 15, 16 years.

Actually, 17.

February 14.

Look, Fernanda.

We can look back on the past,

but we can't go back.

- Back then. -Bernardo.

I know you'd never hurt Leticia, or risk your relationship with

her.

That's not why I asked you to meet.

Okay.

The day we ran into each other,

at the event,

you asked me if I was happy.

I thought of my son, Zacarías. He's the love of my life.

Zacarias.

Eloísa talks about him a lot.

She says he's very handsome.

No doubt about it.

- Wanna see pictures? -Sure.

Look.

Here.

He's all grown up!

When Héctor found out I was pregnant, things shifted a bit.

After Zac was born, things got better.

I don't know how you'll take this.

You got a message from Héctor.

Are you okay?

Well.

No.

I'll have to move up my trip to Colombia.

Even sooner than expected.

But you were saying.

after Zac was born, things got better.

What happened? Did he get violent again?

- I. -Did he hit you?

- I don't want to talk about it. - Fernanda, don't go.

Listen to me.

I'll help you with the divorce.

He's powerful in Colombia.

If I divorce him,

he could take my son from me.

I'll be fine, Bernardo. I just have to leave.

Are you thinking of turning Girona down?

That job is amazing!

This is about her, right?

Unbelievable.

The Pablo Casas I know, the bold, committed journalist,

he'd never give up a shot like that over a woman.

It's not just any woman.

It's the woman I love.

It's only ten weeks.

- I know. -But?

I'm your friend. Tell me.

It's dumb, I know. I'm overthinking it.

Octavio won't give her a divorce.

He bought her painting at the auction and paid a fortune.

Okay, I get it.

A lot can happen in ten weeks.

Look.

What if you say no to Girona,

and she goes back to him anyway?

How would you feel?

When's the deadline?

It has to be now.

Now.

Are you done?

Yeah, thanks.

Yes?

Eloísa? Yeah, I'll get the door.

I didn't know she was coming. I'll just tidy this up.

I got it.

Thanks.

Hi.

Is Pablo here?

Come in. Eloísa, right?

- Yes. -Pablo.

Honey.

- Hi. -What a surprise! I didnt know.

I met with the lawyer.

I came to thank you for talking to Samuel.

Bad timing?

No, not at all.

Pablo, tell her.

What?

Karen's my ex-boss and a good friend.

- Pleasure. -Same.

- She offered me a job. -Cool.

I don't know yet, but I wanted to tell you.

There wasn't a good time.

I'll leave you two.

Thanks, Karen.

See you.

That's great.

Come with me.

- What? -It's ten weeks in Spain.

Girona.

Wait, I can't.

Antonia's pregnant.

- What? -Wow.

Congrats.

- Look. -Amazing.

When is the trip?

If I say yes, we'd leave the 20th.

Next week.

- Yes. -Okay.

Ten weeks will fly by.

Did you say we have to go?

You meant me too? Or someone else?

Well, if you said yes, then we'd go together.

Karen has to come too. She got hired.

It would be a dream.

I know.

Congrats again.

What are you doing?

You scared me, dummy.

What's that?

- None of your business. -What is it?

Painkillers for my foot.

Yeah, right.

Show me.

We can talk about anything.

It's not Plan B or anything.

So?

I haven't done cardio, and ballet's coming up.

These help you lose weight.

- My friend has a dealer. -Her what?

Her mom's diabetic, it's an inside joke.

You're already perfect.

Those pills mess up your heart, your kidneys, who knows.

Throw them away.

- Please. -Okay, Mom.

What are you doing?

Making sure that's all.

So now you're Mom and a cop?

My nephew's gonna love this.

Come here.

Easy.

I care about you.

Promise me you'll stop.

- You can trust me. -Okay.

I'm your sister.

Promise me.

- Fine. -For real.

Yeah, for real.

Did you see the new unit?

It's badass.

Did you know diet pills are super dangerous?

I'm talking about Pablo.

Sorry, babe.

I know Pablo's your idol. So?

Imagine if he became my boss!

He offered me a job

if the new unit happens.

Can he even pay you?

Last I heard, he got fired.

No, he didn't.

He quit.

- Whatever. -Okay?

Either way.

It's a conflict of interest for the firm.

Think about me.

This is my dream job.

Are you thinking about me?

He's my dad's enemy.

You can't be serious.

My thing with Octavio never affected my job.

It did affect me.

My lawyer brought into the firm the woman he's sleeping with.

Did you hire me for my résumé and skills?

Octavio vouched for you.

Eight months with a damn spy in my office.

I swear I always respected my role and confidentiality.

Yeah?

What role was that when you went home to screw him?

If I'd known about you and Hidalgo, I never wouldve hired

you.

You could've saved me eight months of sleazy stares.

Your sexist jokes,

and always asking me for coffee.

Always cracking trash jokes in meetings.

You could get sued for that.

Now you're suing me?

You've already got 116 ex-workers

suing you for harassment.

Here's some free advice.

Fix your attitude. Or it's gonna blow up on you.

Here's my resignation.

What the hell do women expect when they act like that at work?

They expect cavemen like you to shut up.

Guess what? The world's moved on.

It's your turn to show respect.

Dad.

Good morning.

I know you're disappointed in me,

but I swear,

I'll be the best lawyer.

I won't let you down.

I'm busy, Antonia.

I don't care if you're busy or not.

Just listen to me.

Hire Tomás, or he's going with Pablo.

So now you need me.

Tomás is in this mess because you rejected him.

I won't be the last to reject him.

He's an adult. He should get used to it.

You're getting married.

He's gonna be a dad. He needs to handle it himself.

He might work for Casas.

Then I'll have to fire you.

Will you fire me?

I can't fire you in your condition.

The company has to cover your pregnancy and delivery.

Thats it.

My condition.

Well, don't bother firing me.

I quit.

Antonia.

Handle your duties, the meeting's first.

Be responsible.

Now leave. I am busy.

Close the door.

Back to work.

I'd love to say my dad's just old-school

But someone had to call him out.

I'm glad you did.

So, you're leaving.

He'd have fired me either way. I saved him the trouble.

I'm sorry, Nico.

You must think I'm the worst.

No, not at all.

But there's something I need to say.

That weekend we spent together.

Now I get it. You were trying to forget Octavio.

We'd broken up.

Then you said you wanted a work-only relationship

to avoid conflict at the firm.

You made up.

Octavio's never been my boss.

He's still the lawyer for the company you worked for.

Look, I get it.

You and your dad see it as a conflict.

But it never got in the way.

I didn't hide it because of shame.

He was married.

Now you're the one

facing all the judgment.

What can I say.

But hey.

We can still hang out.

Maybe a coffee sometime.

Yeah, I'd like that.

Do you really think you and Octavio have a future?

I hope so.

Well, if not, don't forget I'm still here.

With me, there's no conflict of interest.

Bye, Nico.

That really got me. I didn't see that coming.

I hate that you had to quit because of Octavio.

It's hard to admit,

but I wasn't being objective.

Come on, it's obvious.

I wont say it.

Come on, say it.

He is wrecking every part of your life,

and you want to marry him.

Quit talking.

No, I'll say it, even if it pisses you off.

You've sacrificed everything. He sacrifices nothing

And yet he decides it all.

I gave him an ultimatum last night.

It's simple. Divorce her, marry me.

- Finally. -And.

Leave Eloísa marry Pablo.

Wait. What?

Pablo can't marry Eloísa.

With you?

I don't care about a ring.

I just want to be with Pablo, and I will be.

Karen, Eloísa and Pablo are in love.

That's not going away.

I saw it. Thanks.

As your friend,

face the facts.

Let him go.

You know what?

When Pablo's far from her

and things fall apart.

I'll be there for him.

He hasn't even agreed to leave.

But he will.

So, did you like it?

Yeah, but it's really not my style.

What?

My style's super modern. I'd rather see other options.

Besides, Eloísa should be here soon.

I'll go talk to the salesgirl.

Okay, Fer.

I knew youd forgive me.

- No, I haven't. -What?

I was completely drunk.

Please understand.

I saw a pic of Zoé on social media, Samuel was with her, and.

I don't want to talk about it now.

We'll talk later.

Shall we leave?

Yes, I'm coming. See you there, Fer.

- Bye. -See you.

- I'll see you soon. -Yeah.

Come in.

Hi, honey.

Hi, babe.

You signed your contract, right?

It's all cleared.

They rushed it through.

Really?

Thank you.

Even if I had to push for it, I'm happy.

It wasn't the threat.

I'm just happy you're working with me.

Beside me.

As a team.

Okay?

Okay.

Does Enrique know?

Not yet.

I don't want you on that.

Just to avoid awkwardness.

- Okay? -Yes.

Yeah.

Want to see your office?

It's ready already? Let's go!

- Excited? -Of course!

That was fast.

Don't you like it?

I had it furnished.

Norma!

No.

- Really? -Yeah.

You bought it for me.

I did, but.

I really love it.

So.

Leave it.

But.

You know what I think? No matter what anyone says,

you and I have a future.

Okay? Yes?

That's what I want.

Daniela, come in.

Matilde.

- Me? -Yes, your turn.

You're freaking me out. Is Mom okay?

- Is she sick or what? -Sick with stubbornness.

Yesterday she told me

she helped push Pablo out of the magazine.

What?!

Her friend, Alicia.

- Remember? -Yes.

She helped her do it.

Sadly, I'm not surprised.

It doesnt matter.

Pablo might go to Spain next week.

What?

Is he leaving?

Just ten weeks. It came out of nowhere.

No. That's not a job offer.

That guy just wanted an excuse to ditch you.

Now you're catching our mom's paranoia.

It's not paranoia, she's right.

About what?

He took a check to walk away from you.

What?

Look.

Wait. What?

Ill show you.

Here's my mom's bank statement.

That check was cashed,

and here's a copy of it.

She offered it so he'd walk out of your life.

Don't try to defend him.

That jerk's using you.

He's got nothing and you're his easy prey.

Pablo, tell her.

She offered me a job.

- Great. -Im not sure.

I wanted to tell you.

There wasn't a good time.

Eloísa, Mom didn't want me to tell you.

She was scared you'd hate her.

But I can't let him get away with this,

while you wait here, heartbroken.

This can't be true. There has to be a reason.

You tell me.

He's calling now. Dont answer.

Listen to me.

He cashed the check.

And now, suddenly, he gets an offer in Spain?

That's way too convenient

Pablo.

How is she?

She needs surgery now, but they need her parents to agree.

Matilde says she won't let them touch her.

She won't answer.

I'll try calling her.

I didn't mean to hurt you like this.

It's best to face it now.

It's the ballet teacher.

- Yes. - Eloísa, its Julieta.

Matilde got hurt dancing.

She couldn't dance.

I'm on my way now.

Tell the doctor I'll be there.

- So? -Mate got hurt.

Lets go.

You need surgery, sweetie.

I won't dance again.

Without surgery? Definitely.

Surgery gives you a shot.

That's no guarantee at all.

Without surgery, there's no chance.

It'll be okay, I promise.

- Good afternoon. -Good afternoon.

When was your last meal?

What time?

I don't remember.

Over six hours?

How long exactly?

Then, shes clear for anesthesia.

We'll be back shortly.

Thanks.

The man who brought her is outside.

Thanks. I'll be right back.

How's Matilde?

She's scared, but I'm the one not okay.

It's a minor surgery. She'll be fine.

My mom gave you a check, right?

Yes, I just didn't want to worry you.

You really don't care about a six-figure check?

What? What are you saying?

This.

It's in your account already.

You really think I'd take hush money?
