01x12 - Don't Let Fate Catch You With Messy Hair

[bunniefuu]

PREVIOUSLY ON

Macarons. It's not
raspberry-blackberry, my favorite,

but, oh, well, it's really close!

THE FOREST

We'll need a different strategy
to get information about the girl

without raising suspicions.
We need someone who's close with Ayla.

Anyone who we can manipulate
to extract information.

Excuse me, Sofía told me this is yours
and you left it inside. [laughs]

-[Nieves] Today is Sami's last day here.
-We're gonna miss your freestyling.

-[crowd cheering]
-[♪ upbeat music playing]

You're following Kaboom on your socials.

And? That a problem?

Hey, so did they kiss or not?

[Yago] Nah, I came in and ruined his flow.
[chuckles]

[Inés] I need to know which stage
you guys are in.

I just texted him. To see if he wants
to hang out after class.

Be careful with David,
he's obsessed with beating us.

-Just like his sister.
-David's a good guy.

You didn't get the email
with the requirements?

Maybe the judges changed their mind.
You know, 'cause you were so late.

We're the only ones
who can decide what we are.

[Ayla] What do you decide?

[mobile phone chimes]

-[♪ quirky instrumental music playing]
-[chuckles softly]

Do you like it?

My horoscope is the reason I made it.
It says I need to stay on guard,

because today something
will change my life

in a big way. And you know what they say,

"Don't let destiny catch you
on a bad hair day."

Uh, no one says that, you know.
You just invented that.

I didn't invent it. I read it in
a magazine called Today's Youth.

Well, it was a back issue.
But these things don't go out of style.

You better finish getting ready,
because if we're late to school,

destiny will find you stylishly grounded.

[♪ theme music concludes]

[notifications chime]

[in English] Hey!
They opened a new bakery near the… Oh…

[chews]

-What are you doing?
-Nothing.

-Why are you hiding your phone then?
-Because I already finished.

-[grunts] Stop, Yago!
-You weren't doing anything, right?

[grunts] Nothing of interest to you.

-Oh, you're so wrong! [laughs]
-Stop!

No! Not until you tell me
what you were doing.

-It was nothing, man!
-[laughs] Oh, yeah? What's that face?

[exhales] It's my only one.

Is it the stupid videos
of yodeling monkeys?

No.

Hey, I won't stop until you tell! [grunts]

I wasn't watching anything.
I was messaging someone, all right.

Yeah, who? Your girlfriend?

Yeah, in fact, it was my girlfriend.
I mean…

-Really?
-Sure.

-Since when do you have a girlfriend?
-Since yesterday. [exhales]

[♪ instrumental music playing]

Nice, bro! That's great, Kako!
You're so secretive.

Who is she? Come on!

-[Kako clears throat]
-[Yago] Who?

Hey, Sofí, uh…

Paola says you're the only one
that didn't try on your wardrobe yet.

I know, I've been freaking out
about winning the dance scholarship.

And coming up
with an active individual choreo.

Oh, really? Same problem you had
with the choreo for Move You? [exhales]

[coughs]

Girls. Hold up, we gotta talk to you.
Hi, Noe.

[sighs] Now, what's up?

They're going to cut down
the hundred-year-old tree in the park.

So? What do you care? It's a tree.

'Cause it's our favorite tree.
We played there since we were little.

I even broke my arm once, climbing it.

The neighborhood's starting a petition
to sign.

They need 5,000 names,
they're nowhere close.

So, we thought we could do a dance
to bring attention?

It worked for us at the mall.

Like we don't have enough to do already.

Well, I think it would help out
the petition if we danced.

-Count us in.
-Really?

-Yeah, nature has always fascinated me.
-Same here. Nature's the best.

We gotta save this tree, for sure.
Long live Mother Nature! [laughs]

You're being really extra right now.
Chill out.

We could always repeat the choreo you did
for Move You. The one with Kaboom's track.

[sighs] I'm out. I'm too busy.

Can we get together after class
to rehearse?

-We'll be there.
-[chuckles] Great.

Kako, your thing for Misty,

-it's a little much. [laughs]
-[laughs]

Here, wait, your dignity,
you lost it. [laughs]

-[laughs]
-[♪ instrumental music concludes]

[♪ curious music playing]

And now, we align our spirit auras
to connect to those in the beyond.

[whispering] So, um…
I don't know if this is a good idea.

[whispering] Shh! Don't make a sound,
you've gotta focus.

Of course, it's a good idea, you baby.

If it works, finally my brother's
real treasure will belong to me.

And then, I won't have to rely
any longer on… on that brat.

[Eric] But ma'am,
to directly ask your dead brother…

Such things from the beyond the grave
is no matter to trifle with. [exhales]

[fortune teller babbles indistinctly]

[screams] He's here! What does he want?
What does he want? What's he saying?

It's nothing. This idiot
totally fell asleep, you coward!

That's what I get for dealing
with such idiots!

Come on, go wake him up.

[snores]

I should go back to my former plan.
This means putting a mole in the center.

Yes. Someone who is insecure,
easy to manipulate, and submissive to…

[snores]

Are you implying that I should do it?

You bozo! No!

I've picked the perfect person
to be our little mole in there.

-[snores, snorts]
-[yelps]

[clicks tongue]

[♪ curious music concludes]

So, Misty helping us with the tree seems
really sus.

Why's that?
She's a nature freak, just like me.

[sighs]

Yeah?

If your girlfriend finds out
you're still out there flirting,

you're cooked.

What's this whole tree thing about?

Chill out, I got a plan.

I got enough going on
with my individual choreo.

[sighs] All right, look,

performing together will make it
look like we're good friends, no?

Kaboom is The Mirror's friend.
And a friend of my friend…

-Is a friend of mine.
-Exactly.

And if we're a friend. Maybe Kaboom
will write a song for us as well.

Very slick.

-Oh, don't I know it, bro.
-[David chuckles]

[grunts softly] Ow, let go!

-[laughs] Don't push me. Don't push me.
-[laughs]

-Oh, that annoys you.
-Hey, not my hair!

-You gonna say who she is?
-Who's that?

Your girlfriend, bro!
What's the matter with you?

I would tell you at least.

Well, it just started--
I mean, that's all.

Come on. Just between me and you.

I can't. We decided that we weren't gonna
tell anyone else yet. You understand?

Okay.

-Are you offended?
-Nah, we're all good.

Just happy you got a girlfriend.
Whoever she is, right?

-Misty doesn't deserve you.
-Wanna meet here to walk back together?

[sighs] No, I'm not going to The Forest.

-Why are you going there?
-[Yago] To do some stuff.

-What that?
-My stuff, okay.

[Kako] You're not going to tell me?

You got secrets, right? Well, I have mine.

But… but, Yago!
Ya-- Yago, hey! But… Meh!

GRAND OPENING!
MELOMACARON

[♪ upbeat music playing]

[♪ upbeat music concludes]

It turned out beautiful! Didn't it?

Yeah, arts and crafts are fun.

And body painting.
Look at your arms and pants. [chuckles]

I'll find a towel to wipe off with.

[chuckles]

LET'S SAVE THE TREE

Is it your birthday?

That's news to me. I guess it's David.

[♪ soft music playing]

Raspberry and blackberry macarons,
my favorite!

-You want one?
-Hmm-mm.

Mm.

[woman] Oh, honey, why that face?
You want one, right?

[laughs] Try it,
it's a special one for you.

[moans]

Is it not good?

It gave me another flashback.

-A flashback of?
-Of a woman.

Couldn't make her out, but…
there were macarons on a tray.

And, so, where… where were you?

I don't know.
I couldn't make out the surroundings.

[sighs]

But you know, she was wearing a jacket.

The ones that the chefs wear on TV shows.

And, what color? Did it have a logo or…

No. It was white.

-Was there anyone else?
-No, just us.

It's someone rather close,
because she seemed really adoring.

Your mother?

I don't know.

We have to tell this to my father.

Tell him what? I couldn't recognize her,
or the place we were, nothing.

[sighs]

Hey, what if you take another bite?

You know, you had one flashback,
maybe you'll get another one.

[woman] Why that face?
You want another bite? [laughs]

Try it, it's a special one for you.

Nothing.

[sighs] I'll never remember who I am.

Hey, how many other flavors
of macarons are there?

-[♪ soft music concludes]
-[sighs, chuckles]

[Yago] Five, six, seven, and…

[footsteps thudding]

So? What do you think?

It's as bad this time
as it was the first time.

But at least, the choreo's so simple,
nobody will forget what to do.

-[snickers]
-I figure that's Sofía's?

It was, and Kako's, and Paola's, and mine.

-That a problem?
-No, no.

David never lets anybody suggest steps
or anything.

[mobile phone ringing]

Hey, Inés.

[Inés, over phone]
Hello! Sorry for interrupting,

but I have some massive news
to pass along!

-Why's her hair up like that?
-Where is she?

So, hi. And David? Is David there?

David's not here. What is it?

Come on. It's the middle
of the rehearsals.

Yeah, so. I posted on The Mirrors'
social media that you're gonna dance

with Step by Step and boy, oh, boy!
There's a lot of buzz online.

And the petition's blowing up,
it's really crazy.

So much buzz! So, do your best.

Destiny found me on a superb hair day.
Anyway, that's all.

Plus, gotta go.
I'm in a mega important meeting.

-Bye. Kisses.
-[phone clicks]

I'm sorry, Ms. Esmeralda,

but the obligations of a group manager
never end, you see?

-Continue, please. [slurps]
-[sighs]

As I was saying,
uh, as a donor to The Forest,

I would like to get the opinions of those
who I consider

pillars fundamental to the center.

-I'm a pillar?
-Oh, of course, my darling!

And that is precisely why
I want your opinion about, let’s see,

the staff and personnel.
Your peer and colleagues…

Nieves is the best.
Sandra as well, but she's a bit serious.

Ah-huh. And what about all the other
residents?

[Inés] Very nice. All of them.

By the way, Miguel tells everybody
these really motivating quotes every day.

Oh, that's marvelous! And your friends?

How is living with, I don't know,
your roommate, no conflict, I hope?

She's the best.

-We're best friends already.
-[gasps]

[Inés] She had trouble adjusting at first.

-[Esmeralda] I see.
-[Inés] She couldn't sleep.

-The walls are not very well insulated.
-[Esmeralda] Hmm.

You can hear everything!
In the winter it's pretty freezing.

Oh, my gosh.

Last year we had the best workshop
on quilting.

And I made a super cute quilt too!

Aw, sure, I bet it's precious quilt.
Yes, but you were saying about Ayla?

No, Ayla didn't quilt. Not then.

Oh, maybe this year I'll make you a quilt.

Aw, that would be delightful.
If you'll excuse me…

[slurps loudly]

Do you wanna try? It's delicious!

It has the right amount of sugar.
I read online this diner was wonderful.

-And what about the decor?
-[slurps] I love it.

-I have always liked balloons.
-Aw, me, too.

-They're so cute.
-[Eric] Hmm.

I had a feeling that today
would bring important things.

My horoscope said so.
Do you believe in astrology?

Yes. [slurps loudly]

Tell me the truth. All of this is because
she wants to adopt me. Isn't it?

[chokes, coughs]

I knew it! [laughs]

-[coughs, clears throat]
-[giggling]

Tonight for dinner
there's sautéed cauliflower…

tuna with tomatoes…

and rice pudding!

You were late to rehearsal.

So?

You wanna say where you went, then?

You're gonna tell me
who your girlfriend is?

-[sighs]
-[Yago scoffs]

This Kaboom guy, I like him more and more.

Why?

Because the dude always replies
to every message. That's low-key fire.

He's earned a like.

@KABOOM YOU MEET MANY PEOPLE
IN YOUR LIFE BUT…

A message from your girlfriend?

-[laughs] Yeah.
-She's into you, huh?

Yeah. [chuckles]

It's cool you're not sweating
Misty anymore.

-Why?
-Because she has a crush on Kaboom.

[laughs softly] Why do you say that?

-Ah. Because of her message.
-Hmm.

[mobile phone chimes]

[chuckles] That's my girlfriend.

[Noe] You're so cool. [chuckles]

It's unbelievable.

They said they're putting an extension
on part of the subway

so they need to cut the tree down.

-[sighs] Yeah, it's bad. The worst.
-I hope the dance helps things.

-I'm sure you'll save it.
-"You?" What do you mean?

You're not coming?

-Aw.
-I'm sorry, Paola, I know.

But I gotta prepare for the dance-off
and it's not looking good.

-But we're all gonna go.
-Then it's no huge deal if I don't.

Hi! Can I borrow your denim jacket
for tomorrow, please?

Sure, I'll grab it.

[♪ soft music playing]

[Ayla] What's her problem?

[sighs] She's just upset
I'm not going to the tree thing.

And why is that?

I need to put together the steps
for my choreo and I'm blanking.

-Hmm.
-It's like, I've run out of ideas, lately.

-And the more I try…
-The worse it is.

-Totally.
-Same happens to me as well.

[sighs]

The more I try to remember who I am…

[sighs] …the less it works.

-And what makes it worse?
-[Sofía] Yeah?

[sighs] Just when I begin to feel better,
and calmer,

and I'm chilling, doing my thing…

There it is. Another memory.

Yeah.

But hey, I don't know,
maybe that's it, huh?

We need to stop overthinking it so hard.
Stop worrying.

[♪ soft music concludes]

[♪ "My Own Game" playing over speaker]

Among other things,
my duties as the manager for The Mirrors

are finding gigs and taking care
of their social media.

Tomorrow, for example,
they're making a video with The Steps

to save a century-old tree
that's getting cut down.

It's pretty great,
you should sign the petition.

Oh, no! That's horrible!
They want to chop down an old tree.

Did you hear that? You have my signature.
For sure.

And now, you better get going,
I don't want you to be late for dinner.

[sighs] I don't think
I can eat anymore after that binge.

Just wait until I tell them
where I went this afternoon.

No! No. [nervous laugh]

Let's keep this as our secret,
just a little thing between us two.

Oh, you know how these things can get,
envy, jealousy…

I don't invite just anyone out for lunch.

That's wise. [laughs]

Well, but BFF has to know all the secrets.

-Who's this?
-My BFF.

Her what?

My best friend forever.

Pardon, I speak more a la français.

-My best friend, Ayla!
-Oh, no, darling, no, no, no!

That wouldn't be good. Oh, no, poor baby.
She already has enough going on.

-But she's my best friend.
-That's the point, my dear.

You wouldn't rub your good luck
in her face, you wouldn't do that?

Yeah, that's true.

I won't say anything to anyone!
It will be our super-secret!

[phone chimes]

[gasps] I convinced Central District TV

to do a segment about us tomorrow
on saving the tree.

Oh, that's amazing!
You've got so much to do.

-You should get started.
-Oh, man. I got so much to do.

Anyway, thank you for thinking about me
and for this super fantastic meal.

Thank you too, my dear. [inhales sharply]

I'll be counting the hours
until we can meet again. Mm.

Me too. [laughs] See you!

Bye, bye, Inés.
And congrats on the news feature!

-[laughs softly]
-[Eric laughs]

-Are you bonkers? "Congrats," my eye!
-[Eric] Hmm?

Ayla mustn't go on television.
She could get recognized.

But also, if The Mirrors get to the final,
she'll be on TV.

-It's broadcast live online.
-What?

-Nowadays phones are everywhere.
-And?

Their images are already
all over the internet.

The internet, the internet.
Nobody's on the internet, only brainless!

What's important for us here
is making sure

Ayla doesn't appear
on that feature whatsoever.

Don't you worry about a thing, ma'am.
She said "Central District TV," right?

I have a plan.

[mobile phone chimes]

[Noe over voice note]
Have you seen the video

of the granny dancing to your banger?
It's so fire.

[Kako] What video?

[mobile phone chimes]

[chuckles softly]

[Noe over voice note] For sure.
I love krump.

It's super hard, but it's so crazy fun,

and then, when you're done
it's like super chill.

Me too. I'm super crazy for krump.

[Noe over voice note] Do you dance?

[Kako] I'm not bad.

RECORDING AUDIO…

ONLINE...

[mobile phone chimes]

[Noe over voice note]
What else do you like?

[chuckles softly]

Are you sure the macarons
weren't from David?

I'm sure. I texted him
and he told me that it wasn't from him.

Well, then the only conclusion is,

a secret admirer sent them!
And I'm sure he is…

Only one single camera?

Do you understand
the significance of this event?

Would Beyoncé only have a single camera?

No! I demand appropriate coverage
for this event!

Yeah, yeah. No, no, no, yes, I'm grateful
to you all at Central District TV.

What matters is to make some noise.

Okay, see you tomorrow.

I see you're really getting
into your role.

It's what I was born to do.

And today,
the stars are completely on my side.

[in English] Ayla. Ayla!

As I was telling you,
the astrologer nailed it.

Things have happened today
that will change our life forever.

Yeah, I see you're pumped about it.

But I don't know, just in case,

you should keep your head
out of the clouds.

-[Inés] Why do you say that?
-[♪ pensive music playing]

Well, no, it's just that...

[sighs] …sometimes we imagine things
in our head and think things about people

but then they turn out
to be wholly different than we imagined.

You never know, but…

Our dreams are just plans to fulfill.

Sure, but you're not gonna fulfill
all of them.

But some you will.

Yep, but not how you originally planned
to fulfill them.

Look, Ayla, you seem very negative.

That was also mentioned in your horoscope.

[scoffs]

[♪ pensive music concludes]


-[indistinct chatter]
-[car horns honking]

Guys! We have to take the signs
to the tree and set them up.

And you, Yago.

You could have at least combed your hair
for the cameras.

[sighs]

Hey, didn't you tell me
that Sofía wasn't coming?

-She's not.
-Look.

STOP FELLING

-[laughs]
-[laughs] You're lost without me.

-Well, are we ready or what?
-We are.

[Paola]
In that case, let's save this tree.

No, no, no, no, no!
You gotta wait for the TV.

Who knows where they are? [sighs]

[♪ instrumental music playing]

THE EARTH NEEDS US

I don't know where they are.
They should be here by now.

It's better they don't show.

I don't know what embarrasses me more,
your appearance or my little sign.

LET'S SAVE THE TREE

Why do you say that?
I think they look very nice.

I'm going to look like one
of those silly environmentalists

worried about climate change.
It's horrible!

I hope they don't show this at the club.

Do I need to remind you we need to do this
so that The Mirrors don't end up on TV.

Oh, the things the world has me do
as a millionaire.

Oh! Here they are. Here, here!
It's this way.

You made it just in time
because it's about to start. The show!

Pow! [mumbles]

-[mumbles, grunts]
-Wait, is the show just you?

Of course, yes. The Mirrors, in person.

[in English] Ayla was right.
Overthinking, it had me blocked.

Some of the steps even came to me
while we were dancing.

Well, at least, you listened to her.

-Oh, shut up! [laughs]
-[laughs] You.

In the end, Mercury in retrograde
was stronger than my moon in Saturn.

-Huh?
-Huh?

Everything went "meh."

Oh…

Sorry about the TV, girls, I really tried.

No worries, it's all right.
Let's be honest too.

Does anyone even know
where to watch Central District TV?

-[both laugh]
-[mobile phone chimes]

-[gasps] We did it, you guys!
-[Paola] What?

The petition! The video is blowing up!

[gasps] Five thousand signatures!

[all cheer]

Did you hear that, Mercury? Whoo!

[indistinct chatter]

Yo, Kako that Kaboom's song
is a real banger, huh?

-Thanks.
-What?

Thanks to him we qualified at Move You.

I hope the next song he makes us
is just as dope.

And he better send it quick, you know?
We need to get one that choreo dude.

On this one there's even more at stake.

Well, we shouldn't overwhelm the guy.
I mean, it can't be easy.

-[smirks] Even Pharrell takes his time.
-[sighs] Obviously, bro.

[Noe] You can find us on our socials.
No pressure. Kisses.

[Noe over voice note] Guess what?

We just saved a beautiful tree by dancing
to your song alongside The Mirrors.

It was great. I know you must be busy
and I'm no one to you.

But I would love it if you could make
a song for Step by Step.
