Look at her.

Step aside, move!

Come on, girls! Come on!

Excuse me.

BETTY LA FEA, THE STORY CONTINUES

Thank you all for coming.

I won't take up too much
of your time. I'll be brief.

Brief, like my love story?

Okay…

I've been thinking, we have to act.

We have to resolve
the clothes avalanche thing, right?

And I thought…

-What's his name?
-The potato seller.

-The potato seller.
-Oh, no.

Excuse me, Ms. Betty.
She's so cute, I could die.

Nice to meet you. Of course.

I am Pascual Pabón,
the potato seller, at your service.

Pascual.

I think we're going to have
to keep using your storage.

-If that's okay with him.
-Sure. It's okay with him, of course.

Whatever you need.

Hugo Lombardi, from Paris Fashion Week

to Potato Seller Pascual's
potato storerooms.

Welcome to ruin.

Hugo, cut the drama, please.

We have very serious issues to resolve.

Right, while this scandal is ongoing,
I wanted to propose

that in order to not lose our collection
and recoup some revenue,

we lower our prices.

-No.
-Excuse me?

I mean, if we want to
reap the benefits of this sale,

Betty, I'm making calculations here,
It's about a 50% reduction.

-Fifty percent?
-Yes, or it won't…

Wait, wait, what are you getting at?
Do you want to k*ll me?

Don't you understand

the situation I'm in right now?

Armando, if you devalue one of my pieces…

Touch this. Feel the its quality.

This is pure art.

Look. Look, Armando.
See? This is real art.

If you devalue one of my creations,

you are devaluing me,

Hugo Lombardi.

But, honey, you're already devalued.

Come on, man, don't stress.

You could always make
my potato sacks. Done.

Ángel…

TODAY

THE LOVERS

THE CROSSROADS OF MISUNDERSTANDING

I like it very much, baby.

-Really?
-I love it.

We have to see if it looks better
in cashmere or chamois cloth.

I love this.

Mom, I'm so happy you're staying.

I mean, I know it's for terrible reasons,
but it's good for me.

They're not terrible.
I feel the same way, darling.

Being close to you gives me life.

My girl.

So I'll work on the sketch adjustments

and show you how they're gonna look.

-I'm in love with Sofía López!
-Dad!

-Sofía as in our Sofía?
-Sofía, our Sofía.

You almost scared us to death.

So it turns out that the devil

is not only a pig now, but also a joker.

It's not a joke, my darling.

It's true and pure love.

They say love enters through the eyes,
but it was different this time.

It entered through the ears,
thanks to The Club's show.

Now I see why you won't leave Ecomoda.

Dad, I have to ask something of you.

Yes?

Leave Sofía alone.

No, the best thing about it
is that this is a two-way street.

Thank you, Hermes.

How do I know this is not…

just a fling for you?

Well, you know what?

It is indeed. It is a fling.

But I want it to be a fling
for the rest of my life with you.

Oh, Hermes.

You are such a charmer. So adorable.

You smell so good.

And these flowers are beautiful.

But if you want us to start
this new era of our lives,

you don't need this nonsense.

And you know what?

I never, ever imagined
I would be on your mind.

No, you're more than
just on my mind, Ms. Sofía.

That's why I'd like you
to give me the chance

to put my thoughts into your thoughts
and into action.

Dummy!

This way.

Everyone knows now.

It doesn't matter.

They say that love
is an unexpected guest sometimes,

but I'm expecting to have it,

and let it have me, of course.

You are listening to The Club's Special.

Since we were talking,
let me give you some advice.

But I'm not gonna repeat it.

Always let others take care of you.

-Yes.
-What does our friend say?

She's surrounded by flowers.

Yes!

Okay. I completely agree with Bertha.

The ideal time to live your life
to the fullest is in your fifties.

Of course!

Kids are no longer in the nest,
and we have more freedom.

And the moment we've all been
waiting for has arrived.

The Club's Special Tips.

Tip number one. Listen carefully.

If you're planning
on moving to a new place,

the first thing to do is clean,
get rid of any bad energy.

And also, filling the room with
the things you want, in order to make

that space yours.

Number two.

Your place should be filled
with empowerment, prosperity,

and decorated according to your taste,
whatever you like.

And never should you ever
let anybody give their opinion about it.

Tip number three. The centerpiece,
or the table in the center,

center it to the right,
center it to the left…

Better yet, put it anywhere you want.

And there you go!

New mattress?

Of course.

Okay, my people.

See you back here for the next episode of…

-The Club's Special.
-The Club's Special.

I need your help to disguise me.

I don't want to see the press.

And I don't want haters
insulting me in the street, so…

HIDEOUS

Huguito!

What happened to your classes at school?

They're on hold, just like my reputation
and my Tribute collection.

Oh, Marce. I feel so sad for Huguito.

He's having bad luck in love,

bad luck in his health,
bad luck in his work.

-But this is a good time for me.
-Patricia, stop.

-May I have a moment?
-Sure.

Yes, go ahead.

-I'm just so happy.
-Why?

I just talked to the notary,
and we're all set.

We have a date to tie the knot.

-The what?
-Our marriage.

-I told you it wasn't the right time.
-Right, same as always.

It's always the party or this or that.

I can't take it anymore.

I'm in love.

You bewitch me.

UGLY

Back to our conversation.

I am going to marry you.

I'm marrying you this week,
and that's that.

COOL - BEAUTIFUL - NICE

Choose one.

Wow! The Lovers.

This card, Mr. Armando, is always related
to the affairs of the heart,

all the sexual and romantic impulses,

authentic love, attraction,

the kind that's so deep
it can tear the soul apart.

This is living passion, Mr. Armando.
Do you understand?

Okay, okay. What I mean

is that you are at a point
where you have to make a choice.

If you choose one path,

you have to understand that
you'll be leaving another one behind.

Do you understand?

-I think I understand, Mariana.
-Good.

I think I understood your words.
Thank you.

My pleasure, Mr. Armando.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God, the card was upside down.

Mr. Armando, wait!

THE LOVERS

Oh, my God!

And my dad saying he's in love with Sofía.

And she feels the same, right?

Who would have thought?

What? That your dad is having more sex
than I am right now?

I don't even want
to imagine that, thank you.

Look, Betty, this sexual abstinence
is driving me insane, so insane

that I might start coming on to you.

And I'm ready to shoo you away.

Well, I think I'll have another drink
after that day at work.

Nicolás, be careful with the booze.

I've been smelling it on you a lot lately.

Okay, then.

Am I interrupting?

Okay, I'm leaving.

Betty, I don't know where to begin.

I'm just mortified. I…

I know what happened with Freddy
was unfortunate, that…

-The disguise was unfortunate.
-That too.

No, it was horrible,
but the costume was his idea.

Anyway,

I'm here to tell you
it won't happen again.

I won't meddle in your life again.

I'm so sorry.

I regret it.

By the way, I saw this cork,

and I remembered…

Do you remember my dad had
a punch bowl where he put all the corks

from the wine bottles
from special occasions?

-And he'd sign them.
-He'd sign them. Yeah.

Well, I want to do the same.

This is an important occasion,
and I want to commemorate it.

to seal my commitment

to stop meddling in your life.

And so I seal it.

On top of that, I wanted to tell you…

I've been thinking about
the thing with the Spaniard, Serrano,

and I think that you can't approach him

with a video call or an email,
anything like that.

I think it has to be face to face.
Go see him in New York.

But you shouldn't go alone.

You could bring me along in some capacity.

I brought him to Ecomoda,
I closed the deal.

We need to see him in person,
explain the situation. Don't you think?

Well, you and Marcela were
in charge of Ecomoda at the time.

But Marcela doesn't have to go.

I think just you and me is sufficient.

Of course…

it'd be as friends.

Nothing more.

You made me feel worthless

And my tears fell at your feet

I'd look in the mirror
And couldn't find me

I was nothing but what you wanted to see

And I let my hair down
I dressed like a queen

I wore high heels, I put make up on
And I was beautiful

I walked toward the door
I heard you scream

But your chains won't stop me now

And I saw the night
It was not dark anymore

It was full of sequins

And everyone looks at me, at me, at me

Because I know I'm pretty
Because everyone admires me

And everyone looks at me, at me, at me

Because I do what so few
Would dare to do

And everyone looks at me, at me, at me

Some of them are jealous, but in the end

But in the end, but in the end

Everyone will love me

My darling, what a surprise!

What a lovely visit.

Why the suitcase?

Well, Mom, you know, I was at home,

and I thought, "Man, my mom
is over there in that cold house,

by herself, so bored, and I'm here alone,
while I could be with her."

Mom, we should be roommates.

-Right?
-Oh, darling.

I could've sworn
you were happy living alone.

Yes.

But…

Well, I missed you
and I wanted to hang out with you

because we barely spend any time together.

But if you're happy alone,
I can leave, no problem.

-No.
-I can take my things to the car.

I'm happy to have you here.

Are you sure?

Okay, then I'll take the guest room.

-Betty!
-Dad?

Leaving the door open
is a really bad habit.

I don't think you know
the kind of world we live in, honey.

What's up, sweetie?

Work has already started on the house.

They're unclogging drains and everything.
It's a disaster area.

I tried calling María Camila,
but she didn't answer.

So I decided it was best to come here.

Okay, but Mila is here.
She's settling in now.

And I really don't have
any more space, Dad.

How is that possible, sweetie?

That couch must be really comfortable.

For who, me?

Remember, Betty.

Beds go to the elders.

Young folks sleep on the couch,
or on the floor, if necessary.

Mom, do you have other towels that…

Hi, sweetie.

What are you doing here?

Nothing. I've just arrived.

-I'll get settled soon.
-I see that.

Don't worry, Betty.

I'll leave your bed spotless,

pristine, in a week. Two, tops.

Two?

Are you staying here that long?

Well, it depends on the foreman.

He's unionized, so you never know.

What's all that, Dad?

My valuables, dear.

My tango collection,
your finance degree with honors,

your certifications.
You were so expensive.

And most importantly, the most valuable,

the ashes of old Lázaro Pinzón.

-No, Grandpa, no.
-They'll stay right there.

-Don't leave them there.
-Why not?

These aren't just any ashes.
It's the old man.

Exactly. We will find
a special place for them.

Do you know what a home is?

And Armando showed up
at my house out of the blue.

He promised we'd just be friends,

but why is he showing up unannounced?

Is that all that you got?

Do you believe Armando?

Mila and my dad showed up too,
with demands and complaints,

as if I have to take care of everyone.

Talk to me about pleasure.

Let's talk about pleasure.

Good.

It sounds like you're not leaving room
for your own wellbeing,

and not getting enough rest.

So,

how can you set boundaries
for others, Betty?

-What's wrong?
-Don't worry. Look.

Take a potato, slice it in two,
and put it on.

Betty, about the Ángel thing,
everything looks ugly, so ugly.

I brought you chocolate and almojábana.

Without your blessing,
I can't be your dad's girlfriend.

Wow, so fancy! Oh, Betty,
Freddy is being so weird to me. Help me.

I'm being so weird to Aura María.

Incense and lots of love.

What about your mattress?

Have you used it yet?

Let me see.

ECOMODA
BOUNDARIES!

Let me remind you that, in my absence,

you have a big mission to accomplish.

And that's to follow Ángel.

Ángel.

Keep him in sight day and night.

And don't do what you did with Betty.
Don't get caught right away.

Get a good disguise.
I just get so mad when I think about it.

Get a perfect disguise. Don't get caught.

Call me in the morning.

I'm flying to New York tonight.

Look, Armando.

I need you to use
that trip to the Big Apple

to re-conquer the lovely ex-ugly one.

If you don't, you'll be considered

the most foolish fool of all fools, fool.

"Mister… Armando."

Let's see.

-Mister…
-Armando.

Say, "Mister Armando."

Say it.

Okay, very good.

See, Mariana,

she gave me a tarot reading.

-No.
-Yes, and she… Stop that.

She said things that confused me.

I feel so different.
Because the past was coming back,

there was so much love, passion,
so many things.

Mr. Armando seems to be happy, doesn't he?

But I don't know how much longer
that happiness will last.

-So much stress. My God!
-Why?

Girls, the thing is that the tarot

showed a card that doesn't mean
what Armando thinks it means.

-Which one?
-None other than the Lovers.

But you know what? It was upside down.

What does that mean?

-If the lovers are…
-Just a second.

Let me talk. I was
your astral replacement at Ecomoda.

A bad choice.

A destructive indecision.

What do you think?

You didn't understand a thing, did you?

-No.
-Let me give you a clear example.

A love triangle.

-No.
-Yes. Mariana, tell him.

-Of course.
-Sandra, I'm trying.

I just don't know how.

-Well, now you do.
-Look at that.

Mr. Armando.

I needed to talk to you for a minute.
Can we have a talk?

Yes, but right now I'm in a hurry.

So make it fast. Bye, ladies.

-Goodbye.
-Mr. Armando, it's about…

-Do you remember the Tarot reading?
-Yes.

-Remember your card?
-Yes.

-I wanted to say that we could…
-Yes. Everything will be okay, Mariana.

Mr. Armando, wait. I wanted to…

No, you did.

Wake up, Aura María.

What's wrong? You're quiet,
you haven't said a word.

That upside-down card
could have easily been for me.

-Really?
-Freddy is being so weird.

I have to find out what's up with him.

You look like you're a little warm, Betty.

Can I have the window seat?

Why not?

I'd do anything for my best friend.

Oh, my, Beatriz. Let me help.

Those are nice shoes.

Mila designed them.

-Really?
-Thank you.

Very flirty.

Marriage is an institution
that should be re-evaluated.

Because you get married for love, right?

But nobody lives on love.

Look at me, for example, Marce.

First I married Mauricio Brickman,
who almost left me in the street.

He left me with almost nothing.

Then I married Pachito Santamaría,
who actually left me with nothing.

They're all cut from the same cheap cloth.

Men only care about themselves.

Patricia, do you really think
this is an appropriate conversation

to have with a woman
who's about to get married?

I brought you as a witness
and to help me get dressed.

Marce, it's not my fault

that Huguito
isn't sane enough to help you.

And I'm no witness.
I'm your maid of honor.

And you're beautiful, gorgeous.

You look so classy.

You're fantastic, Marce.

Marce, are you happy?

I'm very happy, Patricia.

Disguised as a hot dog?

I hope he stays hot…

and doesn't turn out to be a cheating dog.

-May I help you?
-Hi.

I'm looking for Beatriz Pinzón?

She's not here.

And you are?

I'm Román… Duarte.

-I'm in from Madrid, Spain.
-Right?

I'm the manager of Stop Crisis,

crisis management strategists
and brand rehabilitation experts.

-Just what's needed.
-For who, you?

No. Ecomoda.

Give me back my hat, you brat!

Come here. Give me my hat.

Give me my fabric too.

Nice to meet you.

My name's Camila,
Ecomoda designer and shareholder.

-And I am…
-Yes, of course.

Hugo Lombardi. The legend.
I know who you are.

Really? Do you know him by his fame
or his infamy?

No, by his animal print.

Yes.

Meow. With whom do we have
the pleasure of speaking?

Román Duarte. How are you?

-He's from Madrid. Spain.
-Spain, yes.

He was asking for Betty.

Oh, but Betty's not here right now.

But come in if you like,
and we'll help you.

-Okay, thank you.
-Something to drink?

No, thanks. I have my mint water.

It's good for the nervous system.

-You know it?
-Just what I need right now.

-You can't imagine the crisis I'm in.
-Yes, I'm aware.

Almost there.

This is so weird, Patricia.

The potato Seller is a lot of things,
but he's never late.

This is giving me a bad feeling.

He sent me to voice mail again.

You mean,
"I-am-hiding-from-you-darling mail."

Oh, Marce, don't worry.
It's not about you.

He'll be here any minute now,
on his party bus, ostentatiously,

with a sack of potatoes of course,

to share with the whole notary's office.

Marce, I hope he shows up

or I'll lose the money
I spent on this dress.

Because I had to pay for it myself,
and it cost a fortune.

In fact, I had to buy it myself

because I couldn't ask Nicolás for money
because I needed to keep your secret.

Even if I had told Nicolás, that tightwad
wouldn't have given it to me anyway.

Enough, Patricia, okay? Stop it.

Marce, I'm doing this to lighten the mood,
because I'm just as nervous as you.

He isn't picking up.

He won't answer.

Marce, thinking it over,

after all this,

let me tell you,

you've been stood up, Marcela Valencia,
for the second time.

Hey!

Marce. Marce!

NEW YORK

I'll go change and meet you back here
in half an hour for lunch

-Okay, Betty. See you.
-Excuse me.

My God, it's freezing here!
Is everything ready?

With all due respect, sir.
Are you sure about what you're doing?

I'm never sure, but I'm doing it.

My job might be at risk.

My life is at risk.

I'm here in New York, freezing,
doing this crazy thing.

Come on! Let's do it, okay?

Don't do anything you might regret later.

Everything I've done in life,
I've regretted afterward.

Thank you,

New York, work your magic.

ON THE NEXT EPISODE

We're in the most magical city on earth.

I'm sure that New York
is going to give us magic.

Did you plan all this for me?

Why talk about people who,
as I said, are gone?

Think about it.

In the end, the past never comes back.

BETTY LA FEA, THE STORY CONTINUES
