[all cheering, applauding]

[suspenseful music playing]

[door lock buzzing]

[grunts softly]

Why are you here?

Say something, Delfina. I'm not leaving
until you tell me what you know.

I really don't have much to say.

No problem.
I'm gonna make a public statement,

asking for information
about my biological parents. Excuse me.

We're very artistic in the cave.
We're very artistic, very inspired,

and I mean, they were fully aware
that if they were to kiss,

it would go viral everywhere, you know?
[chuckles] I also want to clarify

that anti-Cornwall de la Hoya rhetoric
and all that stuff

isn't anti-Margarita, you know?

[laughing] Are we on the same page?
It's anti-monarchy.

In that respect, Merlin and I

are kinda like, uh, drops of water
falling at the same time

into the same glass
with the same amount of water.

Because I am not a monarchist at all.

I am, in fact!
Long live the French Revolution! [gasps]

Long live liberté, um, fraternité,
everything! [laughs]

[playful music playing]

Maika, between you and me,
she's made of wood. [gasps]

Did you see her? [laughs]
I wanted to laugh when I saw her,

I had to act a little frustrated,
but it was terrible!

We all know
if I wasn't here talking to you,

eating the cookie and all that,
I'd be over there singing.

Mar, I know it hurts, okay?

I obviously know that, but Merlin moved on

with his life, why can't you?
You have the right to do the same thing.

-Ugh! I'm fed up with them!
-[Ada] What happened?

[Yamila] Nothing, friends
of the late mother of the royal siblings,

who found out what happened
and want to see them.

But they're awful people,
they're forbidden from being near.

I remind you that your Highnesses
are more than old enough

to see who they want to see.

If you don't want the same fate
as your predecessor,

-I suggest you don't contradict me, okay?
-Mm-hmm.

[Daisy] I need to know who I am, Delfina!

-[Delfina] Daisy. Stop for a minute!
-[Daisy shouting] No!

I won't stop! I want to know who I am!

She's been asking for a while,
don't ignore her!

-[shushes]
-[Daisy] You shut your mouth, Fach!

I'm talking to Delfina! Now talk!

Uh, yes, I'll tell you the truth
at some point, but first, sweetie...

First what? What could be more important
than the truth?

She already told you
not to interfere, man!

-Just let Delfina take her...
-Enough! Both of you, be quiet!

Speak up, Delfina!

I think what you're gonna do is dangerous.

Dangerous? What's dangerous?
I wanna know who I am, Delfina!

Enough is enough,
this cannot be postponed much longer.

I think you're right, Delfina.

-Shut your mouths, everyone!
-Daisy...

-Your dad is Severino.
-No!

[tense music playing]

Is that true, Delfina?

-Oh, my love.
-[Daisy] I came for answers.

Who am I?

Who is my mother?

Where was I born? What is my name?

And why?

Why did you do what you did?

Why? [voice echoing]

-[music concludes]
-[kissing]

-What's the matter?
-Well...

I thought after so much kissing,
it would be good

-to clear things up between us--
-No.

-No.
-No?

-No, rebels don't put labels on things.
-Okay.

Don't even ask me what we are

because I swear I'll faint
from the boredom.

-All right.
-[gentle music playing]

You can get the prince
out of the palace, not the opposite.

Also, we have the whole entire cave
to ourselves all afternoon.

We can do whatever we want.

-Hey, babies, sorry to interrupt! [laughs]
-[joyful music playing]

-Why are you here, April?
-I came for what I promised.

Everyone's talking about
the anti-monarchist prince, love!

I'm fed up with being treated
like I'm invisible, and being treated

as if what I feel doesn't matter, okay?

Please, answer me.
Tell me, why did you do what you did?

I don't know. To give you a life.

[soft music playing]

[Severino] I propose we tell a story.

A story in which, by twists of fate,

you came face-to-face
with Princess Margarita.

I'll make sure
that when they do the genetic testing,

they reveal that that little girl there...

is Margarita.

I had nothing.

I was a simple security guard
at the embassy.

And my mother?

She couldn't take care of you,
or anything.

That's why she left you with me,
and I had no money.

-[scoffs] What was I to do with a baby?
-And you gave me away.

You left me in an orphanage,
you gave me away.

-Was that your great act of love?
-You were better off without me.

It was my only chance
to give you the life you deserved.

I was wrong.

How would I know those kids would turn up?
They were supposed to be dead.

I thought that I was doing
what was best for everyone.

The best for you, you mean.

You went from being
a simple security guard

to being a millionaire,
a partner, my aunt's lover, even.

Or Delfina, because,

I can't get used to the fact
that I don't have an aunt.

I don't have family.

-I have no father. I have nothing.
-No.

Don't say that.

You're a piece of trash.

-[music concludes]
-[door lock buzzing]

These are times of democracy
and of revolution!

-[rock music playing over cellphone]
-Now it's your turn.

-[cellphone beeps]
-What do you want me to do, April?

-I introduced you to Pipe...
-No, no, I'm Cala.

I introduced you, what more do you want?

No, no, sweetheart, you don't have
to introduce me to Pipe,

I already know him.

You gotta hook a sister up,
right, girl? Yeah, duh.

-[soft music playing]
-It offends me and hurts me terribly

that he left me
over a moment of confusion.

If you're my boyfriend and you get
confused over a girl,

you better hope it passes
in a split second. [scoffs]

Well, there's nothing worse
than being toxic.

There's a long list of things

-that you shouldn't be before being toxic.
-Go ahead!

For example, a liar, a traitor,
and unfaithful, Pip!

I swear that "toxic"
would be last on the list.

You made fake social media
profiles to stalk her.

-[scoffs]
-[Blue] Hello, how are you?

[whispering] It's her!
It's her, Pipe, it's her!

Oh, well, well. I'd be confused too.

Pipe! You're my friend! Lie to me!
Tell me she's hideous!

Not that she looks
like a supermodel Barbie!

Hideously pretty.

[comical music plays]

[Otto] How long will we play
this little mystery game?

[Alaska] Until you find out who I am.

[Otto] I've figured you out.
Now tell me why you're doing this.

[Alaska] Because I feel
that you're special.

Even though you don't see me,
I see that you're kind, sweet, honest.

-[elevator bell chimes]
-[Otto] I'm telling you,

it's impossible to save her heart.
Delfina is cruel, Mach.

-[sighs]
-Message received, Fach.

-Ah.
-Otto.

-Hello. [laughs]
-[laughs] What message?

Not now. There are
too many eyes and ears here.

Oh, uh, bye.

-I was saying...
-[quirky music playing]

...that unfortunately the only option
we have with Delfina is to destroy her.

No.

Destroying the bad person Malala built.

-Those are different things.
-Enough justifying her.

Delfina is an adult.
She decides for herself.

No, I'm not justifying her.

It seems to me
that even if she's a mean witch,

and conniving,
she can still be turned around.

Leave this mission to me, please, Fach.
You'll see, I'll find her weak point.

Where did she even come from?

-Seriously.
-Fach. Okay?

Fach asked me to investigate her!

-What?
-What?

Yes.

She was part of the League of Royals.
Her name's Blue.

-What?
-Isn't Blue Fach's ex?

Ah! You're in love with a friend's ex?

You don't care about anybody
or anything.

Number one, I didn't fall in love.
Two, Fach is not my friend.

-Three, stop being loud.
-Ah, I can't.

Three, stop being loud.

Yes, being around her every day
made me wonder if I liked girls,

if I liked boys, or maybe both.

-What's the problem?
-[sighs]

I mean, can't I ask myself those things?

-Not while you're dating me!
-Stop it. I have no right?

Excuse me for interrupting
your teen drama

but I need to talk to you guys.

Who do you guys think...

I don't understand
why I'm not the one hosting this.

Maybe it's because
you don't sell as much.

Go away.

-Go take a hike.
-Stop, why are you still doing this?

It benefits both of us,
I told you to leave me be.

See ya!

What's with that look?
Do I owe you something?

[upbeat music playing]

I think we both owe each other
a few things, don't you?

For now, I'm content with knowing

what you would say to a guy
that you like, face-to-face.

You think I'll lower myself
for a boy, Otto?

No! If he likes me then let him beg.

-[elevator bell chimes]
-[suspenseful music playing]

Wow!

All right.

Looking for cuteness here is like
looking for fairies in Dracula!

Doesn't matter!

I know!

-[upbeat music plays]
-[clears throat]

-[Fairy] What do you wish for today?
-Little fairies.

Help me somehow find the alarm clock
for Delfina's sleeping heart.

[Fairy] Go towards the door.

No! No, not that door.

[music concludes]

[suspenseful music playing]

-[elevator bell chimes]
-Dei! How are you?

Don't ignore me,
I'm just asking how you are.

-Dei! Hey!
-Stop, Rey! Don't be so fake, please.

You're not interested in anyone
but yourself, sycophant.

When Margarita was the favorite,
you were after her.

She disappeared, you came to me,
now she's the princess,

and you're groveling for her again?
You're so self-serving.

[scoffs] What is all this?
Where does it come from? My aunt?

Ah. Is this the pay
for betraying your friends, Rey?

Hmm. Seems like a loser move.

-You have no idea what you're saying.
-I always used to wonder why.

I was so depressed,

wondering why people
are so mean and manipulative.

-I'd ask, "Why me?"
-[dramatic music playing]

There's no use in it.
Sometimes people are bad just because.

I'm not wasting any more time
continuing to wonder why.

-[Margarita] I can't believe this!
-[music concludes]

[Margarita] She used to write songs!

So much darkness, my darling.

[Delfina] Yamila, jewels don't have legs!

I don't know, either it was the maid
or it was you, very easy,

you better pray everything turns up
because otherwise someone has to pay.

[cell phone ringing]

-Hello?
-[Severino] Will you tell me why

-you told Daisy the truth?
-But I didn't, no.

-It was Mach and Fach.
-[suspenseful music playing]

[Severino] You let those two little brats
walk all over you?

I can't keep covering up
your lies, Severino.

If you had told me from the beginning,
the story would be different.

Listen.

[music concludes]

-I need to go out again.
-Hmm.

-You can come out, Margarita, I saw you.
-[dramatic music playing]

I'm coming! [clears throat]

[sighs]

Yes, yes, girlfriends,
I'm where you think I am.

And now I'll show you
everything that's happening here.

Let's go! Woo-hoo!

Finally. No police, no cameras,
no nothing, no people.

The rebellious and romantic
Little Prince you are.

-I'm not a Little Prince!
-No?

How much is a pound of bread?
And a bus ride?

No. When was the last time
you actually rode a bus?

[playful music playing]

-Never.
-Ah.

-It's about time I did, right?
-Mm-hmm.

Oh, wow, look, we found them here!
Hey guys, how are you?

Merlin, everyone's asking about you.

About you too, Maika,
they ask about both of you.

We have questions
for the Calalovers, okay?

-Do you happen to have my choker?
-[music concludes]

No! No, no, I'm not a thief, Delfina.

I also lost a little something
around here.

I was just looking around,
maybe it was around qui.

Oh, please, you really don't need
to make up stories, okay?

I completely understand
that it's difficult for you to trust me.

That you find it hard to believe in me.

-[gasps]
-[suspenseful music plays]

My things!

How embarrassing! Did you see them?

My mom always told me what I did
was disgusting, my whole life.

What's in there is the one
you sang with Margarita Trucha.

-"I say magic."
-[Delfina] It sounds insane, but...

I used to believe in magic.

[chuckles] I thought you made it
with AI, like me.

-That was all Yamila's idea.
-You don't have to pretend to be nice.

To me, all that really matters
is that that little girl

used to write about love.

-Magic. That girl is waiting for you.
-[sentimental music playing]

What do you say if...

if I suggest we sing together?

-What's up with Margarita?
-[insects trilling]

Well. Um, and why not
make your breakup public?

-[insects trilling]
-[playful music playing]

[Cala] Just one more tiny question, okay?

Is it true that Mar
cheated on you with Rey?

No questions
about the creative revolt at all?

Oh, that's what we talked about
the whole last stream.

Thank you, Calalovers.
Thanks for the compliments.

This is just the beginning, isn't it?

Hey, guys! [pants]

I unlocked the signal.
We recovered the stream.

All together!

-You're amazing!

My Dad found out I was seeing Fach
and made me believe

that Andrés was in Krikoragán
so I'd give you guys that info.

-So that's not the real Andrés?
-No.

They'll convince them
Andrés wants to see his siblings

so they can kidnap them.

[clicks tongue] Given how sharp Fach is,
I doubt he'd believe that story.

Doesn't matter, we have to get
the message to him somehow.

I can get it to him. If it goes well,
I'll go into Reina and tell him.

Awesome. Any other questions for me?

-What's up with you two?
-Um, stop it Zeki, please.

You knew he was spying on you
and went along with it?

Or did you really like him?
Are you guys together?

Did he tell you he was in a relationship
or did he just keep me in the dark?

-Enough, Zeki, now's not the time!
-I'm leaving.

-No.
-[Blue] I have things to do.

I'm leaving too,
Merlin's waiting for me.

Wait up. Wait up.
Don't go, please. Let's talk.

I have nothing to say to you.

-[music concludes]
-[birds chirping]

Want help counting freckles?

I counted my freckles at your age.

I made sure to dedicate
each one to someone I loved.

Why not make sure you care
for the royal siblings?

They have a lot to learn about elegance,
about good taste,

-and distinction, for example.
-True, true.

I'm sorry for what they did to you.

But I've observed you,
and I have admired you.

And...

More than a princess, you,
Miss, are a woman of integrity.

You could be a positive leader
to the people.

"Udaz." "Hopi." Meaning hope?

-Like you inspire hope in people?
-[Delfina] Do you know what I think?

I don't mean the choreography,
but that part could be mirrored.

-Yeah, so like...
-I'd like it sort of like...

You're as real
as Monopoly money, Margarita.

You don't know how many times

she tried to convince me
that you're the devil.

Now you go and become
this perfect happy family?

Your convictions are strong!

That's because we are
a happy family, Daisy.

Come on, baby.
You always do this, come on.

[Ada] Ladies.

-Your Highness.
-Oh, how annoying.

I am Justino Feliz García,
your private tutor.

I need to speak with you urgently,
if you would.

Not possible at present,
we're on our way to rehearsal.

-[suspenseful music playing]
-I must insist!

-Would you please?
-Yes.

You have to enjoy this. You deserve it.

-Look at everything you do.
-You deserve it.

Aw. It doesn't take this much.

-It is.
-[Merlin] Rey! Rey!

Kiddos, go inside now.

There you go, there, there.

Close the door.

-[Paula] It's a lot of stuff, guys!
-Here, in case it's useful to you.

-[Rey] What's this?
-[Merlin] You know exactly what this is

because you planted it.

You blocked our stream,
passed on information,

and betrayed us
because Delfina asked you to!

For a dumb bicycle? For a house?
That's what your dignity's worth?

What do you know?
You were born in a palace, Merlin.

It's very easy to play the revolutionary
when you have it made in life.

And you know the worst part?
You didn't do it for the money.

You manipulated. You betrayed.

You allied yourself with Delfina
to be close to Margarita.

It might even turn out all right,
you know?

Maybe you'll end up with her.

But we both know
that story won't work out well.

-Because that story is fake, like you.
-[tense music playing]

That's all you do.
I won't play your stupid game.

I'm not like you.

You come looking for me at my house?
You pay the consequences. [groans]

-[music concludes]
-[elevator bell chimes]

[seagulls squawking]

I need to speak with the royal siblings.

Go! Go! Go! Go!

[Ada] Prince Federico, Bringo Joo.

-Uh, who is it?
-Mr. Justo.

He's our fairy, here to teach us
royal shenanigans.

By the way, I also don't know
why we're here.

I warn you, I don't intend
to be a fragile little princess.

Do you understand?

I'm what you see in front of you,
with your own eyes.

You can't get blood from a scone.

-From a stone, Mar.
-A stone, a stone. That's what I said.

What is that? What are you doing?

It is a camera and microphone neutralizer.
This place is full of them!

I reported and blocked them.

The only thing left to do
is file a harassment complaint.

-They're driving me crazy. Okay.
-Do it then, do it.

Sorry.

All the security cameras malfunctioned.

[giggles]

-I don't like it.
-[gasps]

-Ah!
-Ada! [gasps]

-[shushes]
-Why are you here?

-[speaking indistinctly]
-[chuckles] I can't believe it, of course.

This flawless disguise, the neutralizer.

This has Borja's mark all over it.

-That kid is so talented!
-Yes.

But I'm here to protect you
from the treacherous!

-And you, ma'am?
-What?

What's this about redeeming her?
I'm surprised to hear that, huh?

-That woman is beyond redemption.
-I've been saying the same thing!

Just leave it to me!
Come on, will you? It's under control!

Time out, time out. The one we have
to take care of is Daisy, I beg you.

Don't you see
all this darkness consuming her?

Yes, I've already tried to help
in every possible way.

-Oh, good!
-With lots of love!

Do you have any idea how totally lovesick
this man has been for her?

-I'm right here, Mar.
-Girl, tell me!

No, not now! We don't have time now.
There's no time. Mm! No time, no!

Ah! Tick, tock, tick, tock, no!
There's no time.

-Let's pretend for a second.
-[mischievous music plays]

-Ah!
-Ah!

-Hello! How are you guys?
-Hello!

There are a ton of mega
super spicy surprises today!

While we wait for Delfina's
mystery surprise,

look who's back, you guys!

-[pop song playing]
-Yes, yes! We're back, folks!

We had a few little problems to sort.
We were boycotted.

It was difficult to recover
the channel, but here we are!

[upbeat music plays]

Oh, no...

-[sniffles]

Does it bother you, your aunt's

Do you feel left out by that?

-I don't know. [sniffles]
-[somber music playing]

Today I went to see
the one who is supposedly...

my real father.

The one who used me
to be able to build all this.

I don't know how to feel
about that stuff.

You have to be very brave
to find your truth.

Honestly, I haven't dared to.

I don't know how to help you with this.

But I can do something
so you don't feel invisible.

[music concludes]

They're asking here if we know
where the boycott came from.

It came from a kingdom not so far away
where everything is plastic and fake,

and where dragons call themselves queens.

And whoever the crown fits,
let them wear it.

I'm not advertising them, you know?
But since we're talking about queens,

they're about to present
something on Reina.

You don't need to leave the channel.
We're reacting to it live.

I love watching them k*ll each other!

They're not the only ones!
A new competitor joined the fray.

Shall we check it out?

There are a lot of us, many, so many!

But if we get another 200 thousand
we have a song ready to go.

Come on, do it!

Did the queen of garbage lie to all of us?

-[sighs] Margarita doesn't lie, Zeki.

No wonder she gets along with Rey.

-What a day for some streaming!

Delfina and Margarita giving it their all

while the Flikitis
are totally k*lling her.

And then, Torino and Daisy

-[chuckles]

For making me believe in magic again.

And thank you all for being there.

-[Yamila] Delfina!
-What are you doing?

-We were making a fool of ourselves!
-No!

Between Flikiti coming back,
and Torino doing a stream with Daisy,

we came in very last!
Yes! This isn't right!

-No!
-What do we do?

Yes! [chuckles]

That was awesome, what was all that about?

Just theories my sister has.

-[both chuckle]
-Okay, so tell me.

Do you think you redeemed that twisted,
wicked witch of the west?

[sighs] Oh, trust me. Give me more time.

-I trust.
-Thank you. [chuckles]

You didn't tell me about your crisis
with Merlin. What happened?

[Merlin] So?

We k*lled it, right?
I mean, we destroyed. [chuckles]

There's no need to overact.

All your anger towards Mar
only screams one thing. Love.

What do you mean?

-Mar doesn't lie, Zeki.
-She does something worse.

-She cheats. With Rey.
-[dramatic music playing]

I admit I'm a little bit mean,
but I'm outshined.

[chuckles]

[music concludes]

-Is everything all right?
-Yes.

-Hey! What happened?
-Nothing.

-Was it your dad?
-It was your ex.

He came to my house, accused me
of treason in front of my siblings

and did this to me.

It seems that only some
can have a good life.

[soft dramatic music playing]

I told you, but I'll repeat it.
I am nobody's consolation prize.

[cell phone ringing]

-Margarita?
-[scoffs]

[sighs]

-What's going on?
-[Margarita] I want to understand, Merlin.

I want to understand.
Why are you doing all this?

What you said on the stream is a lie,
and it actually hurt me. [sobs]

-And you hit Rey.
-[Merlin] Look, Margarita.

I won't waste my time
giving explanations, okay?

-Go ice him or something.
-Why are you doing all this?

[Merlin] I'm the one wondering why!

Why, after everything we went through,
did you destroy our love story, Mar?

Why did you let Rey
with all his resentment

destroy everything we had together?

You didn't fight for us.

Why did you lock yourself in a tower?

Why were you singing
with the woman who tried to k*ll you?

And on top of that,
you're calling to ask me if I hit Rey?

I didn't do it. But I wish I had hit him.

You're my reason for living, Mar.

[Delfina] And this, friends,
is how a villain triumphs.

Leaving all the good guys wondering,
"Why?"
