Today, the world will see
an Armando it's never seen before.

It's going to be an unforgettable night.

Why are you shaking your head?

You promised you'd wear that gown.

Playing the divine Hugo Lombardi
will cost you dearly.

I know I promised, but it's not happening.

Do this, or I'll burn the sketches,
and you'll lose the line.

-Think of something else.
-You'll lose Hugo the Divine!

What's going on? I heard you in my office.

You know. Your boyfriend.

I showed him the new collection,
and he's worried.

-Show her.
-You need to see this.

The collection is great.

They're beautiful, Hugo.

Of course they are, darling.

Take good care of me, or I'll leave.

-Let go!
-How dare you show up here!

She's finally lost it! Someone call 911.

I'll take care of her.

-Sofia, think of your job!
-Let go!

-What's going on?
-Let go!

What is this?

This place is like a madhouse.

What's going on?

I only came to offer my services

as a professional model,
and this woman lunged at me!

No, no, this slut stole
my husband from me.

You can't hire her.

-I forbid it!
-You what?

You can't forbid me anything.

Girlie, show me your gifts.

I understand your husband now.

You're hired.

What?

What?

I'm sorry, ma'am,
but as you can see, I'm a lucky girl.

I'm taking my gifts elsewhere.

Oh, no!

When you administer
large amounts of money,

transparency is key
to making things work seamlessly.

I know, Dad,

but this is what Mr. Mendoza wanted.

He wanted to invest in another company.

He didn't want all his eggs in one basket.

But I need to know
if the company will belong to V&M,

if there'll be transfers
between both companies,

and if so, how much
will those transfers be.

I need to know what sort of relationship
the companies have.

Both companies are independent
of each other.

-Really?
-Uh-huh.

Look, rich people can be really crafty.

BAR could be a shell corporation.

Yes, that's what I told Mr. Armando,

but he promised it was just an investment.

It was great seeing you.
It's been a long time.

An old friend I hadn't seen in a while.

Of course.

I know you models are
very affectionate with each other.

Still, I think it would probably
bother Hugo.

Look, Ines, let's not blow this
out of proportion.

I mean, you can follow me
everywhere if you want.

It's just that I love Hugo like a son.

I just hope you love him, too.

I can't love Hugo like a son.

-Naturally.
-I love him in my own way.

I hope you understand that
and mind your own business.

Excuse me.

Nicolas, hurry. I'm running late.

You think Dad believed me?

Even if he did, he's in charge
of the company's finances.

Sooner or later,
he'll realize what's going on.

How could you involve him
and ask your boss to employ him?

He needs a job,

but he probably wouldn't
find one if he tried looking.

Besides, you're very smart.

I know you can keep him in the dark.

It's like when you hide your hearing aid.

Yeah, OK. I'll think of something.

-Don't worry.
-Thank you!

-Don't mention it.
-Thank you so much!

I'll figure something out.

Oh, my!

You must've really had a rough night.

Do you want something for the hangover?

No?

-Bertha?
-Huh?

Who has access to the company phone book?

The president's office, security, and HR.

Someone called my wife,

and I'm certain it was someone from here.

Who has access to my information?

To make those sorts of calls?
Just you and me.

What happened?

Must've been quite the door.

I'll tell security to check the footage...

No one has to know about any of this.

I don't want to alert the culprit.

-All right.
-OK?

I'm going to find out who did this

and when I do, they'll pay for it.

All right, boss.

I'm going back to my desk. Excuse me.

This is the last straw!

First, she steals my husband from me.

Then she takes away my money,

and now she's here asking for a job
and invading my space.

She's insane. Don't waste your tears.

Hey, girls.

Oh, no!

What's wrong, Sofi?

The sneaky bitch with a long face,
you know the one?

She came here asking for a modeling job,

and Mr. Hugo hired her
just to spite Sofia.

I wanted to tear off
each and every one of her hairs,

-but they wouldn't let me.
-Violence begets more violence.

What's worse, now she'll use this
to get back at you.

Remember when you sprayed her
with insecticide,

when you made fun of her
at the club, and when...

Whose side are you on?

Betty, since we're
cutting back on expenses,

can't you keep her from getting hired?

I'd love to help you, Sofi, but I can't.

I'm getting too involved.

I just intervened for Aura Maria's sake.

Sorry.

-You asked to see me?
-Yes.

I'm going to explain what happened.

The other day you invited me to a bar.

-I did?
-That's right.

You needed my help
regarding your issues in the company.

You're still employed because of me.

Just a second.

Mr. Armando made the decision
to keep me here.

That was yesterday.

Besides, you invited me to the bar.

You have a history...

of inappropriate behavior with co-workers.

It'd be your word against mine.

That is not true.

Besides, I've never received
a single official notice.

You haven't?

Here's your first.

Due to your relationship
with Mr. Ricardo Calderon.

Calm down. Would you like some tea?

No.

What I'd like is for that woman
to not work for this company.

She... she stole my husband from me

and rid me of my peace.

All she does is humiliate me,
and as if that weren't enough,

now Mr. Hugo wants her to work here.

What do you mean she's going to work here?

He told me to my face.

He said, "I'm going to hire her.
You're hired!"

Ma'am, you're a woman, too.

I don't think

you could stand
your boyfriend's lover working here.

You can ask...

No, you can forbid Mr. Hugo
from hiring her, right?

I can't forbid Hugo from doing anything.

It'd be worse.
It'd make him more resolute.

He's only hiring her to mortify me

because he hates me.

Don't say that. Hugo doesn't hate anyone.

He's just a bit temperamental.

Look, I'm going to talk to him
to try to convince him,

but I can't make any promises.

Now, wipe those tears away
and take the rest of the day.

And when you walk out that door,

hold your head up high.

Don't let that woman or your ex know

that you've been crying because of her.

Head up high. Like that.

Yes?

And smile.

It's hot.

Pati, I'm so embarrassed
because of what...

Don't call me "Pati."

You may call me Patricia,
or Patri, if anything.

OK, Patricia.
I just want an honest job, Pati.

Pati... Pati...

Congrats, you've got one.

Now that you're here, you and I can be...

Friends? BFFs?

-What?
-Together's friends, right?

-I love making friends!
-No, no.

I already have a friend, my best friend,

and her name is Marcela Valencia.

She owns this company.

So no can do. But we could be... allies.

What for?

Haven't you noticed
how awful those Squad women are?

-They're ugly.
-Very ugly.

Inside and out, which is worse.

Horrid.

They used to make me cry every day.

No! Why?

It's what they do. They're evil.

But I'm very strong.

So am I. I've very strong.

When I was at the DUI...

Where?

-DUI.
-Oh, right. DIY.

DU... Whatever.

The point is that I learned
a lot of empowerment techniques.

-Empowerment techniques?
-Yes, intellectual empowerment.

How does that work? Can you teach me?

-I want to learn!
-I can teach you.

It essentially means
that you need to stand up for yourself.

Those ugly hags already have you
in their sights.

They're going to make your life miserable.

-Trust me.
-I know.

Know what I enjoy about this?

That us pretty girls are sticking together

and that since we're super pretty,

we're like a friendship circle.

-High five.
-No.

Hugo, I think you made a rash decision.

You sided with that other girl
just to annoy Sofia.

Sofia started giving me orders.

Can you imagine? Ordering Hugo Lombardi.

Do you at least know
where this Jenny woman has worked?

Nowadays anybody can take a picture,

post it on Instagram,
and think they're a model.

You wanted a cheap model.

No, no...

She should still fit
within the company's standards.

She should at least have class.

Well...

She is terribly common and tacky.

She's even a bit disgusting.

But if you're into that, she's marvelous.

Will I need everyone's permission
to choose my models too?

Why are you so stubborn?
Why do I love you so much?

You don't love me, darling. You adore me.

You'll look like your aunt the showgirl.
Remember when we spied...

Hugo wants me to wear it, but I won't.

You know when Hugo has an idea,
there's no changing his mind.

You're going to be a drag queen, period.

Get used to the idea. We need a name.

Smile. Help me out.

You look like a... Shanika.

No, wait...

Désirée... Wait, I got it!

Paquita.

Am I interrupting?

No, babe. Come in.

Sit.

What's up?

Maria Lucia's in the city.

Daniel and I are having dinner
with her tonight.

Your sister's here? It's been a while.

I know.

That's why I want you to join us.

When? Today?

Yes, today.

I can't. I have something.

You can cancel.

This is the perfect opportunity

for you and Daniel to smooth things out.

It is, but I can't. I already confirmed.

He confirmed.

What is it again?

What is it?

It's... important.

It's important.

Important?

What's more important than dinner
with your fiancée and her family?

Indeed, what is?

This.

This.

Honey, don't be upset.
I don't know where I'm going

because Ricardo said
he'd give me the details but he hasn't.

-You tell her.
-My bad. It's my fault.

But now that I think about it,
you don't really have to come.

I can go on my own

and you can join
Marcela and her family for dinner.

How about this? I'll join you for dinner

after Ricardo
and I make an appearance at the event.

No, Ricardo just said
you didn't have to go.

I need to make sure he makes it.
You know he isn't very punctual.

Remember Miami.

He's right. I'm not.

Do whatever you want.

Just don't be late.

-OK.
-Bye.

"It's not important. Go join Marcela."

-You're a big help!
-I am helping you.

I was trying to keep you
from making your drag queen debut,

-but if you want to do it...
-Listen.

You'll go with me,
bring me back here so I can change

and then I'll meet them for dinner.

Didn't think I'd see the day
and now I have front row seats.

I won't miss it. Come on.

We still need a name. Come on!

Stop it, Ricardo.

Marce! I have some news for you!

If you're here to tell me Hugo hired
Sofia's husband's lover,

I already know.

Her ex-husband!

You can't imagine Sofia's reaction.
She went crazy.

She's dangerous. They made a huge scene.

They started to fight.

All that was missing was the mud.

Although I will say Jenny was a true lady.

She even apologized.

The problem is that Sofia's traumatized.

Having to face
the woman who stole your husband

can't be easy, especially not for her.

They'd been married for years.
They have kids.

You know what I think?

That they shouldn't in the same place.

That's nice.

You empathize with Sofia, right?

Then why is Aura Maria still here?

She came between Ricardo and me,

and you and Armando couldn't care less!

It's OK to have rules,
but it should apply to everyone.

What are you doing?!

Do you want your kids and me to starve?

-What do you want?
-What are you talking about?

What am I talking about?

I'm talking about that stupid Jenny girl

who showed up at my company to torment me,

to upset me, to get me fired!

Is that what you and that skank want?

-For me to get fired?
-All right, stop insulting her.

Know what I'd like?
What is it that you tell me?

"Who am I to you?"

I know! I'm your servant!

Guys, love and peace!

I'm going to get a coffee.

Talk things out and stay calm. Breathe...

Bye.

I swear I had no idea
she was going to your company.

She's just a kid. She's a model.

She's just trying to make some money
to help me with expenses.

It was just an unfortunate coincidence.

A coincidence that she showed up
to the one place where I have peace?

The one place where I don't feel

like I'm in the hell
you and her created for me?

All right, Sofia. Calm down.

Listen, I swear I didn't want to hurt you.

I'm serious.

But... just get over it already.

I don't love you anymore. I love her.

What could I do?

Good grief!

I knew this day would come.
It was a personal goal of mine.

When I was younger, I dreamed
of working in a place like this.

I was into fashion magazines
and celebrities.

And now look at me.

I'm going to be modeling
in the best runway,

giving Naomi Campbell a run for her money.

You? In a runway?

Modeling my creations? My works of art?

Can you imagine this one in a runway?

No, babe.

You're going to be a fit model.

-I love it.
-You're essentially a hanger.

One that moves, talks, claps,

that doesn't understand squat,
but a hanger nonetheless.

To model my creations you need... glamour.

And now, here's my little secret.

-Don't tell anyone.
-I'll take it to the grave.

But first... throw away that furry vest.

You look like an ostrich.

Betty, is this all the money we have
to buy the fabrics for the new collection?

Yes, if we allocate more money for that,

we won't have enough to cover
our fixed expenses like our payroll.

This isn't even enough to buy
fabrics at Mogollon's Market.

We need more money.

And time.

You must think I'm stupid.

No.

And you know something?

I am.

I really am.

I thought Efrain had paid
for the kids' soccer classes,

but he didn't.

He only has eyes for that...

that stupid Jenny.

But if he didn't pay for them,
then who did?

It was you, wasn't it?

It was you!

Why'd you do that?

I'm the kids' godfather.

I love them and wanted to get them
something for Christmas.

You'd already bought them toys.

Then for Three Kings Day. What do I know!

Know why I did it?

Because I felt like it. Period.

We can't make the same mistake
as last time.

We need to work with the best materials.

Yes, but for that we'd need
80% more money than we have.

I could stretch it by 5%,

but we still wouldn't have enough.

V&M might not, but BAR might.

BAR doesn't have that much money,

not even with your initial investment

or what it's made in the stock market.

I'm not talking about any of that.

BAR has a really good relationship
with the banks.

You could ask them for a loan.

But that's a lot of money.

So what?

You don't think they'd loan you
that much money?

We have great possibilities.

Betty has managed the company really well

and she has
a great relationship with the banks.

Yeah, but I'm the company's
legal representative.

That means that if there's a problem,
I'll be responsible.

Nothing's going to happen,

but if anything did,
I'll be there to back you up.

I'm sorry, sir, but it's a lot of money.

I'm not ready to make
that sort of commitment...

I... I need some space.

You're my angel.

Betty, you left your cell phone.

Given Betty's performance

ever since she started in the company
as my secretary,

I think it's not fair for her
to remain as such.

As you all know, she's always been
my personal assistant,

so I think she deserves that position.

Well, Betty?

I'll do it.

I'll ask for the loan.

I trust you. I won't let you down.

Yeah!

Armando, remember our dinner at Le Blanc

and that Daniel's always on time.

I know.

Don't worry.
I can't promise I'll be there on time

because I need to review
the budget for the new collection

and Ricardo and I have that other thing...

-You sure we can't reschedule?
-Don't start.

I told you Daniel's busy tomorrow.

Right.

This is very important for our families.

Do you promise to try to be there on time?

I promise, but if I'm not,
start without me.

But do you promise to make it?

-I promise.
-OK.

See you soon.

Hey, Armie.

Hey.

Are you ready?

For what?

For your transformation.

Allow me to introduce you to Daddy.

He's blond, so he's Yankee.

Daddy and Yankee.

I wanted to talk, Hugo.

I thought it over

and I don't think
that gown looks good on me.

You thought you were going to dress up
like Peter Pan?

I'd rather be Peter Pan than Tinker Bell.

Don't be disrespectful! Tinker Bell!

That's haute couture.

I need his makeup to be... dramatic.

No one said anything about makeup!

You think drag queens wake up
looking like they do?

I've never worn makeup and I never will!

Hey, listen up!

You're not about to disrespect
the drag queen community.

So you either do things well
or our deal is kaput.

Wait, wait! All right.

I'll do what you want.

I'll wear the dress and put on makeup,
but not here.

Who's going to see you? Everyone's gone.

But if you want...

Daddy, go to his apartment
and work your magic over there.

It's OK. We can do it here.

Good. Make sure she looks fab.

And start thinking about your name.

I'll be back.

Nicolas! Nico!

What's up? Where's the fire?

There's no fire.

I was working on this

and some of the numbers don't make sense.

Really? Oh, but I'm already on my way out.

I have a very important engagement.

Video games aren't important.

Look, what are these withdrawals?

Which ones?

That's... petty cash... for my lunch.

You eat here.

Besides, that's a lot of money

and the numbers don't match
the changes in the stock market.

Oh, my!

Why don't you check it?

For the love of God!
I've checked five times.

Oh, my...

Where'd that money go?

Good evening.

Betty!

I'm glad you're here.

Your dad has questions
about BAR's transactions.

You tell him.

Done.

That money was deposited
in an investment fund.

It wasn't wise to have it all
invested in the stock market.

Where are the titles
of these investment funds?

I don't have that information.

Well, that's because...

V&M is handling it directly.

You're just supposed to manage
BAR's internal finances.

Excuse me, Beatriz Aurora Rincon.

Are you then asking me
to alter my professional ethics?

To leave out information?

No, I'd never ask that.

It has nothing to do with ethics.

It's just that...

Mr. Armando just wants
to be in charge of BAR's profits.

He said so.

Are you sure?

Uh-huh.

Lovebug, my feet hurt.

You've no idea the day I've had.

My feet and my back hurt.

Will you give me a massage tonight?

You went to V&M to get a job?

How do you know?

Of course! You've had complaints.

Well, I wasn't looking for a job.

The job found me.

Honey, do you know who Hugo Lombardi is?

He's a superb designer.

He chose me from like... 2000 other girls.

He wants me to be V&M's exclusive model.

-Doesn't that make you happy?
-No.

I mean, it's great,
but you know Sofia works there.

So what? I don't care.

My modeling agency sent me.

It's not my fault she's there.

Lovebug, you've no idea how she reacted.

-They had to restrain her.
-Of course.

I'm telling you.
I need a restraining order.

One of these days she'll kill me

and you'll lose your lovebug forever.

Exactly, so wouldn't it be better

if you didn't work there?

She worked there first anyway.

So you want me to give up
being a super top model?

No, babe.

I'm going to model V&M's lingerie.

You just want to be
half-naked all the time.

No, only to model
V&M's super refined lingerie.

Do you know that he's designing it
for my body?

I'll be exclusive. I'll be his muse.

Do you know what that means?

You're always saying
we don't have enough money.

Well, now we will.

I'm doing this for you. Just for you.

Betty, I told you!

Your father was obviously going to notice.

He's not stupid.

If he catches us,
we'll go straight to hell.

Don't say that!
That's not going to happen.

Besides, we didn't lie.
We omitted the truth.

-We omitted the truth?
-Uh-huh.

Have you noticed
all the stupid things you're doing

because of Armando? Really?

And you don't know the worst part.

Oh, no. Don't...

You're scaring me. What is it?

-Calm down.
-I can't breathe.

V&M can't... sustain itself.

It hasn't balanced out the budget.

It can't pay for the new collection.

They need money.

You didn't tell him
about BAR's profits, right?

No, of course not.

But he did suggest...

BAR could take a loan for V&M.

And you obviously said no, right?

Betty.

Betty, no!

Are you dumb?

If they don't pay, we'll get in trouble.

And for what? For what they pay us?

Are you kidding me?!

Nico, Mr. Armando promised me
that wouldn't happen

and that V&M will have our backs.

He promised?

That's nice, but this is business.
This isn't a relationship.

What's the matter with you?

Why are you acting so unprofessionally?

You're acting like a woman in love.

I pity you.

Bro...

I can share.
Just don't get any lipstick on it.

Not right now.

Armie, why are you being
so rude to your fans?

You know, as a man,
you're not bad to look at,

but as a woman, look at you!

You're gorgeous.

All right, I came. Now I'm leaving.

Leave? No, you're going to compete.

You're going to sing,
or our deal will be off.

Darling, help me out.

Attention!

Ladies and gentlemen,

I know this place is home

to the best the New York drag queen scene
has to offer.

Well, I'd like you to know

that you're about to witness
an impressive debut.

Today, you're going to meet
my Cookie-Glam,

my bejeweled little biscuit,
my chocolate covered Okeechobee.

Like I said, you're about to witness
an amazing debut.

Once you hear her,
you'll see how talented she is.

Besides, since we've been friends
since we were little,

she will be my maid of honor
when I marry my dear Fabi.

Here she is. Cookie-Glam.

I know you and Armando don't get along,

but it's time you two made amends.

I can't be caught between my brother
and my husband for the rest of my life.

I won't make any guarantees,
but I promise to try.

-Are you going to eat that?
-No, it's too sweet.

May I?

Sure.

You've got quite the appetite, Patricia.

It's obvious
you haven't eaten out in a while.

Danny.

Leave him be. I don't care what he says.

He's not into desserts
because he's a sourpuss.

He enjoys nothing in life.

There are many things I enjoy.
You know that.

What time is it?

Armando should be here soon.

You said that 30 minutes ago.

If this is how he expects to make amends,

he's starting off on the wrong foot.

Danny, really.

Work from love.

Enjoy this moment with your sisters.

All right.

Actually, why don't we go
to Armando's place?

We can surprise him.

Besides, we can relax
and take our shoes off.

Maria Lucia,
you're not taking off your shoes.

-It's a good idea.
-What?

Going to Armando's apartment.
That way you'll see it.

You'll love it. Come on.

Come on.

Can we?

I'm going to the ladies room.

Right now?

Yes. Why?

Are you suggesting
I can't pay for my dinner?

No, it's nothing.

It's just very convenient.

As if! Let me get my purse.

Don't worry. I'll get it.

Wouldn't want your power
to get cut off again.

Marce!

Go use the ladies room.

-Why are you so rude?
-I didn't do anything.

-You're so rude.
-Oh, please!

I'm here looking
for a different kind of fun.

-I speak Spanish, too!
-Oh, yeah? Nice!

Are you...?

I can't beat that. Excuse me.

Wait, wait. Don't go.

My girlfriend and I both like you.

We'd like to try experimenting with you.

The three of us?

Uh-huh.

That was impressive.
You've found your calling.

All right, all right. I'm leaving.

This means so much to me.

You kept your word
despite your chauvinistic ways.

I'll keep my word, too,
and we'll have lots of success.

Now go. Oh, my!

Bye.

Girls!

Let's celebrate!

I still don't understand
why you insist on starving

when there are ways for you to make money.

You want to live the good life?

How many times do I have to repeat myself?

What happened between us
won't happen again.

It doesn't have to be me.

Just because I like you

I'm going to introduce you to some friends
of mine who are very old and very rich.

They won't mind being your sugar daddies.

I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that.

You're a pig.

So?

Is there a date for the wedding?

I need to check my calendar, you know?

Oh, please! All you do is yoga and reiki.

You think that's easy, right?

I dare you to keep
your mind blank for one minute.

Well, that'd be hard for me,

but I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem
for Patricia.

Since the wedding date is so important,

I was thinking we could convince Armando
to pick a date tonight.

That's great!

We'll have another reason to toast.

I have a question, though.
Has he called back?

Do you know where he is?
Or rather, with whom?

Ricardo, you'd better pick up.

Marcela, how's it going?

About time you answered the phone.

Where are you?
Why'd you turn off your phone?

I'm at V&M.

I turned it off so I could focus,
but I'm on my way now.

Don't go to Le Blanc. We left.
We're in your apartment.

-What?
-Let me go!

Let go!

- Oh, my God!
-What was that?

Go! I don't want to get arrested!

Where are you?

What'd he say?

I think his battery died,
but he'll be here soon.

His battery died. How convenient.

-I wonder who he's with.
-Stop it!

I promise he'll walk in at any moment.

I feel so much negative energy around me.

I feel it, too.

I think it's coming from your brother.

I'm serious.

Everyone's chakras are blocked.

Luckily, I brought my crystals.

That should unblock everyone's chakras.

-No, thank you.
-Shall I?

No! Not me.

Me, me! Pick me!

You think this will help
with the hangover tomorrow?

No.

Try it anyway. Go.

Breathe.

Oh, God.

Open up!

Please open up!

It's me! Open up!

It's me!

Open up, damn it!

How the hell do women wear all this crap?

Open up!

Open up! It's me!
