01x21 - Little Weed

CREATED BY CRIS MORENA

MARGARITA
MAKE YOUR STORY COUNT

He loves me
He loves me not

I love him a lot
With all I've got

In every petal
I see his face

Telling me he loves me
He loves me

He loves me

He loves me
He loves me not

Checkmate, Thistlebug.

Yeah. Welcome to my eccentric dreams.

This is how my dreams are
when I get fliquitis.

I know.
You want to know why I slept here.

Well, turns out
Delfina made an announcement.

THISTLEBUG

During this time,
you all proved to be true artists.

But now what?

We're selecting a group
to move forward.

They'll go to the next phase.

Which means six contestants
siamo fuori della coppa,

meaning they're out.

It's not an elimination.

We'll pick ten students
for an intensive project lab.

Sounds good?

But if you're not picked,
don't worry.

You can use what you've learned
and work elsewhere.

Delfina says no, but yes.

She's cutting five
to make room for her new fave.

As you saw,
things were intense,

so I exiled myself
to the mini-embassy.

The only queen I'll ever serve is...

-Delfina Santillan!
-Delfina Santillan!

Anyway. Come here.

Turn sideways. Like this.

Nice. Look sexy.

Empowered. Fabulous.

Makeup and hair touch-up.
Please, darling.

-Why? Am I ugly?
-Never, darling.

But a touch-up...

Enough! Let me breathe.

-Turn this way.
-Yes.

-You're stunning.
-Yes.

You're relaxed, then you see your ex.

Are you stupid?
How could you say that?

Here.

Now get down. Intense.

Strike a pose. Pout.

Like this? I can't do it.

-But...
-Do I need to suck in my cheeks?

Let's retouch the makeup and hair.
Go. Quick.

Hurry.

No, silly! Up there.

You must be wondering
why I'm mad at Delfy.

I dreamed she was queen
of the Narcissus

and that she called me Thistlebug.

You may remember a few days ago,

a blonde guy appeared
with Grotta Azzurra blue eyes.

I know who you are.

From the photo.
You're a Fritzensomething.

But you're looking
for the other Margarita.

Yes, Daisy.

I'll call her right away.

Daisy, there's a Prince Charming
looking for you.

What's so funny, Pretty Eyes?

You remind me of someone. I just...

Is your name also Margarita?

-What a coincidence.
-Indeed.

Why are you here?

I just want to see her.

Love of my life, go to your room.
I need to handle something.

Thank you so much.

Why are you here?

What do you want?
You won't take what's mine.

This house is mine,
and it was hard to get it back.

All we want is to see her.

See who?

She doesn't know who you are.

Why would she?
She doesn't even know you exist.

She's my niece. You know that?

Like it or not, Flor is my sister.

No. Sorry.

You're hilarious.

I loved it, but it made me want to cry.

That tale you believed
about the chosen family.

The truth is Flor was my sister.

Not yours. Idiot.

This house is mine,

and you won't take what belongs to me.

Paolo, escort this man out.
Don't ever come back.

-Don't do this.
-Get him out of here now.

-Get out. Please.
-Go.

Get lost. Now!

She hurt me by stealing my ideas,

but beyond that...

I'm tired of Thistle's filthy friends.

And I'm sick of Thistlebug, too.

Go find something to do.

That's why I'm mad.

Who talks about their family like that?

Of course,
other things have changed too.

Merlin and Daisy broke up.

Merlin and I broke up,
before we ever even started.

But lately, he seems Petra-fied.

Geez, don't stare at me like that.

I need to forget Merlin.

The truth is Rey pulls some petals,

even though Zeki says...

A thorn won't heal another, Mar.

Maybe not,

but it sure covers
the other thorn's hole.

So? Are you ready?

Yes. Let's see how it goes.

To distract myself from the fliquitis,

I decided to focus on something real.

Sasha thinks he's k*lling it,

but the only certainty is
that he's out,

so I decided to bring his best.

Where do we start?

Need my help?

Let's start with you.

You've been lazy,

but don't worry,
I'll whip you into shape.

I wrote an awesome song for you,
so you're good.

How about starting with the youngest?
Your turn, Sasha.

-Sure?
-Absolutely.

Okay.

DONOR FOR ELIAN HAS BEEN FOUND

I'm sure it was because of you.

I know it was.

Thanks.

Thank you.

I realized I need to stop slacking
and start helping others.

We should go out to celebrate.
It's good news. What do you think?

You can't. Can you?

I've got dance rehearsal with Pipe.

It's fine. No biggie.

Actually, you should work
on your project.

There are only ten scholarships, and...

No. I'm onto it.

I am. Seriously.

I have to go.

We could rehearse later if you want.

No. Let's rehearse now.

There's a meeting at 6:00 p.m.,
but you should do a live stream before.

Check out the numbers.

This week,
we barely hit 50,000 interactions.

-Is this a carnival?
-Enough!

People want blood.
We need to start a trend, Yamila.

-How about eliminating the unwanted?
-Who should I start with?

I don't know. Anyone.

Alaska, Benedicto, whoever.

Or Sasha. He's unbearable.

Or Romeo. No, we can't.
Astrid likes him.

Otto!

He's always explaining something.

He should just be a teacher.

Go pee, Jean Paul. Good job.

Thanks for calling me, Ada.

I just want to know
why you came to visit.

I want to see Daisy. That's all.

I ask whenever I'm in the country,
but Delfina never lets me.

Delfina says she has her reasons.

Delfina says you guys
are a troublesome family.

What stories has she told?

She said you tried to scam her
into buying the mansion,

one of you is in jail,

another is irresponsible,

and we shouldn't even talk
about the youngest,

because that's no way to speak
about a lady.

It's all lies.

First, we didn't even know
she bought the house.

The jailbird must be Tomás.

His passport got ripped,
so he had issues.

What about the irresponsible one?

I don't know. Maybe it's me.

I haven't settled down yet.

-We're just a normal family.
-Sure.

Ada, please. I'm begging.

We just want to be close to Daisy.

We've thought about Flor a lot,
and the three kids.

We're her family too.

Please.

But you can't be seen.

Any updates?

Not yet.

You said we'd meet soon.
Are you here?

I'm always nearby.

This way.

It's more private here.

Delfina obviously avoids this place.

Young people, music, scents...

So nothing's changed.

Daisy is on her way.

But I'm not leaving you two alone.

What's wrong, Ada?

Hello.

Daisy, this guy wanted to see you.

If you don't want to,
I'll send him away.

-But I do.
-All right.

Hello.

Hi, Daisy.

Do you remember me?

You're Franco, my mom's friend.

Yeah, a really good friend. Seriously.

I can't believe how much you've grown.

Last time I saw you,
you were eight or nine.

I was eight.
After that, you never came back.

But we did.

We did, but Delfina...

Delfina's tough to deal with.

We've been watching you compete.

You're super talented.

Super talented.

My brothers say you look like Flor,
but I think you look like Max.

No wonder they call you Little Countess.

Red alert! Delfina's here.

She can't see you. That way.

Go. Hurry.

-I don't know. I feel weird here.
-Seriously?

-Why?
-Don't you?

-But I love it.
-Nope.

Mom vibes.

Housewife.

-No.
-Set the table.

How do you do it?

Pretend you have a heart.

I'm posing, darling!

Done.

What do you mean,
"pretend I have a heart"?

Are you nuts?

Yeah, but fake it.

Love. Mom vibes.

The whole idea is heart. Care.

-Got it?
-Yep.

Cross the sticks.

Cross them. Just like that.

All right, baby!

Control your breathing.

The books shouldn't move. Go.

If I knew
How to make you see

Just once to look at me

I'd feel immortal
Wild, and free

He only hears what he wants.
He has a long way to go.

I heard that.

I messed up because I'm tired.
That's all.

I need to pee.

So go to the bathroom.

Well, I'll take the chance
to ask something

I've been rehearsing for days.

sh**t.

How long are we doing this?

Until he gets better.
He's too young to...

I'm talking about us.

You and me.

How long will we ignore this vibe?

-I thought you were direct.
-You're right.

I'll be straight.

Look. I...

-What?
-I...

-Not sure I get it.
-I like someone else.

Yeah, Merlin.

It's another guy. Another.

And, yeah.

Sure, you might have popped up
on my romantic playlist.

I guess sometimes
one thorn heals another.

Maybe I'm a tweezer
that plucks thorns.

But...

Rey, I still don't fully trust you.

I just follow my heart.

So, only when my heart says so.

But not yet.

Okay.

Sasha Delivery's here, lovebirds.

I know.

Things changed after the fire.

This room was mine and my brother's.

Nico, my twin brother. Yep.

And there was a door
to the younger kids' room.

Did you live here long?

Until the day I got married.

-You got married?
-Yeah.

A few times.

Sorry, but...

This place pulls at my heartstrings.

Those were the best moments
of my life.

Many of them were with your mom.

Sorry, guys.

I tried to distract them,
but they're vultures.

-Shall we go somewhere else?
-Yeah.

Let's go. To the right. There.

Merlin's charming,
and we're getting closer.

Sure. I'll keep you posted.

You need to try dulce de leche.

It's the best thing about this country.

The food here is amazing.

I could live here forever.

If your parents allow it.
Weird they said nothing.

You're dirty. Here.

My parents already called
Secret Services.

They don't want a scandal.

Imagine the headlines:
"Princess Ran Away."

All monarchies are the same.
It's all appearances.

Luckily, I escaped.

I'm looking
into renouncing my titles.

Take your time.
No need to rush.

Think it through.

It's not rushed, Petra.

I always knew this life
wasn't for me.

I said, "It's not red, it's burgundy."

Hey, have you seen Yamila?

-Nope.
-What do you mean?

Come here, sweetie.

I need to fix Delf's dress,

and I need a model.

Want to be my model?

Of course. I'd love to.

Pretty Eyes, you're back!

I'll clear out the mini-embassy soon.
I'm just grabbing stuff.

You can stay, Mar.

This is Franco, a friend of my mom's.

I know. We've met before.

Besides,
I've been stalking analogically.

That book? No way.

It's Flor's.

Who knows how many things
she stashed here.

It was her hiding spot.

That's crazy.

It's mine too.
We call it the mini-embassy.

I don't know.
Feels like she's still here.

Through those windows,
a tree branch would come in.

I don't know why, but it came in,

and she would always
talk to that branch.

You spoiled Flor.

She spoiled us too.

She always gave us a charm,
to each of us.

And they worked.
Except for her, it worked for all of us.

But... why did they call her Thistle?

No idea. The witch...

Malala. Delfina too, but whatever...

Not us. We called her Flor.

Or Florderella.
Greta gave her that nickname.

She found her rummaging through garbage
and gave her that nickname.

Then it became the band's name.

You guys had a band?

Of course. You didn't know?

-No.
-I'll bring a record.

-Please!
-Yes!

Franco, you better leave.

-If Delfina shows up...
-Yeah.

It was great seeing you.

-You can count on me.
-I know.

We are searching for your brothers,
Federico and Andrés.

-You know that?
-Yes.

Take care.

It's been a pleasure.

Everyone's rehearsing hard

because they know they might lose
their only chance.

One, two, three

Straight out of a dream
Dressed in sunlight

Dancing among clouds
Surrounded by light

And everything spun around me

Her face, her hair
Her body, her voice

The world doesn't exist
Just her and me

Everything stops, freeze
The heart roars

Beautiful, beautiful
Too beautiful

Única always steals the show.

Knock it off.

Única is an artist.
She hears a tune, and has to dance.

She buzzes with it.

Are you a Única Devil now?

If you had to choose,
who would you eliminate?

No one. They're all amazing.

I'm just teasing, darling.

It's not an elimination.
But seriously, who'd you pick?

Única, keep the live stream going.

You're all so boring.

I'd eliminate Margarita. Obviously.

So? Won't you work on your project?
We don't have much time.

Relax. I'm just in stand-by.

I'll k*ll it. Just watch.

Please. I don't want you to leave.

They're the worst,
especially after what they did to Romeo.

What do you see in them?

I see they love each other,
they're meant to be.

When Daisy's ready,
we'll be in touch.

I don't care what Delfina thinks.

Thanks, really,
for taking such good care of her.

I see you love her. Thanks.

So...

Hi. I'm here.

Yeah, I caught you.

Now I know who you are,
but what do you want?

I don't know.

Sorry. I don't remember,
but do I know you?

All right. I get it.

Dis-cre-tion.

Just know that I'm here.

Always.

But... I didn't ask for her number.

Otto.

Let's see what the nerd is up to.

Única, give it back.

-What is it?
-Única.

-What is this?
-I'll throw you in the water.

Fine. Just take it.

-Única.
-Done.

Bye, Otto.

Rewind. Go on.

More. No, the other way.

Look at Otto's phone.

-See it?
-What?

I feel like a princess.

But you are, my love!

I can't believe it! It's divine.

Zeki, grab a jacket, I don't know.
Better if it's white.

Come on, I want to see it.

Let's see it. Go ahead.

A royal wedding! I love it!

A royal wedding.

Better take it off.

Take it off, I need to do something.

I loved that he told me
about my mom,

but I don't know them.

But they love you so much.

Yeah, but I don't know.

It's weird they love me
without knowing me.

Why are you so emotional?

I don't know.

Big chance of rain.

Daisy, focus.

Erase this fliquiti right now.

Okay? Or it'll be a sad music video.

Let's go.

What rhymes with "tractor"?

Think a bit.

"Song," "armor," and "cheese."

"Cheese"? You think
"cheese" rhymes with "tractor"?

Depends how you rhyme it.

I went to buy some cheese
with my tractor

-That rhymes.
-Okay.

I've got an idea
that'll get you a scholarship, Sasha.

Okay.

You have that je ne sais quoi.

That little tweak everyone loves.

I've got the moves.

We need to make you
a social media sensation.

Now I'm hooked.

I still haven't seen your face.

NOW I WANT TO SEE YOURS

So naive.

-Poor thing.
-Poor thing.

We need to embody
gender neutrality.

-They're dumb.
-We hate them.

-They're ugly.
-They're boring.

What are you doing?

Do we need permission to sit here?

No, but I need space
to start my intervention.

They are so weird.

Clara.

The axolotls are fine,

but it's better if you come back
to take care of them.

No, Ro. I'm having fun on this trip.

I'm calling about Otto.
Did you see what he's doing?

-No. Why?
-I'll send you the link.

All right.

Catalino, you lied to me.

You said I was the only queen
you'd dress.

How can I top that?

Technically,
they haven't been crowned yet.

You're a beautiful queen, Delfina.

-Cute.
-Adorable.

Guys, so glad you're here.

I want to share something
that makes me really happy.

All right. Go ahead.

"The Committee
for Environmental Protection

congratulates Delfina Santillan

for her reflection on the consequences

of climate change
in World of Contrasts.

We highlight the inspiring nature

of making a positive change

in how we care for the environment."

Thank you.

I want to thank you. I'm moved.

I feel like this is largely
thanks to you.

You inspire me.

Congrats, Delfy.

I hope to keep inspiring you.

I mean, thanks for acknowledging
we inspire you.

Some people take all the credit.

But it's better when inspiration
comes while we work.

If not, it's pointless.

If I were you,

I'd go back to working on your projects.

You're all red.
There's steam coming out of your ears.

What's your beef with Delfina?

I've got a cactus stuck in my throat,

and if I don't get it out,
it'll prick me,

it'll prick all over me.

We know what you're doing, Otto.

What do you mean?

He's a traitor.

He got close to them
just to stab them in the back.

No, he just wants to help.

He marked in red
who could be eliminated.

Those girls livestream
and come up with theories.

They're like that.

Yeah. But it's a screenshot.

You marked Sasha, Benedicto,
Mei, and me in red.

But it's not what you think.
I'm not betraying you.

We know you wouldn't do that.

You marked in red who's at risk.
Didn't you?

-We're all at risk.
-We know what you want to do.

You'll try to get eliminated,
to give us a better shot.

Don't be ridiculous.

You can't lie to me.

You've always been proactive,
look at you now.

Fine. Okay.

You're right.

Mei, with your health,
they won't let you keep going.

Romeo, they prefer multi-artists,
but you only like fine arts.

That's why I think
you have a chance to get cut.

You deserve to be here
more than I do.

Much more.

For me, this is just fun.

But not for you.

So I'll give up my spot,
so you'll have a better chance.

Some thistles
are better than others, of course.

Some even
sacrifice themselves for love.

Come in.

Excuse me.

Here I am again,
for the thousandth time,

to remind you this competition
isn't good for the contest.

I could write a book
with the things you say to me,

because I know you so well.

No, I won't do that. You know why?
I have something to say.

Not everyone
can be a great artist.

Someone has to work at the box office.

I can't believe I'm dressed as a bride

right in front of you,
and you don't compliment me.

So, here I go.

-You look beautiful.
-Thanks a lot.

If my eyes aren't deceiving me,
you're missing the ring and the groom.

So, are you interested?

I'm just an observer.

Want to add something,
switch girlfriends?

Delfy, can we talk?

Not now. I'm busy.

It's quick.

I'll be done in a flash
and you can pose.

Okay.

We'll talk later.

So?

It's kind of funny talking to you
in that fancy dress.

Why not later?

-No. Now, please.
-Now, okay.

I have to get this off my chest.

Go ahead.

It's about the thistles.

You know I love
wild and free plants,

buds, thistles, weeds,
you name it.

All of them.

Yeah. What I meant is
you didn't steal anything.

But you did take some
of my ideas.

Like the magazine cover,

or Merlin's political asylum.

I don't need my name in lights.

But it's wrong not to credit me.

Also...

I thought you were

a strawberry shortcake
filled with love,

but I heard you call Daisy's mom
a "Filthy Thistle."

You also called Daisy Thistlebug,

as if she was a parasite.

I don't know,
you just don't say stuff like that,

least of all about family.

I'll tell you what.

First of all,

to protect Merlin's asylum,

I thought it'd be safer to claim it

since we didn't know the consequences.

Given your situation,

it was out of kindness to protect you.

As for the "cover idea"...

You spoiled my surprise.

I ordered a plaque
to give you on awards day,

something special, elegant, unique,
with a heartfelt speech,

so your friends
would cheer and applaud.

But, well, it's ruined now.

Over.

Yes, I'm serious.

I'm always thinking of you guys.

You're my priority.

You mean everything to me.

And about Florencia,

my sister,
I'll give you some advice.

Don't get involved.

It's my personal life.

Everyone has their own relationships.

I'm older and wiser,
so let me be clear.

Don't meddle
in what's not your business.

-Got it?
-Yeah.

You're right, each family is a world.

For sure.

Okay then.

I just had to let it out.

Ready, queen of it all?

Catalino.

Hello.

You look beautiful!

Thanks, you're such a sweetheart.

Shall we go?

Yeah, I just need to wrap this up
so I can relax.

Are you okay?

Everything alright?

Satisfied with the explanation?

Yeah, yeah.

Then a kiss. Let's forget all about it.

Let's go. That's enough, we're good.

-And I always...
-Yes, we're good.

Bye.

Shut it.

Yeah, I've got a date.

But I'm so nervous.

He's so hot.
No idea why he's into me.

Got any advice?

Asking the walking disaster?

Don't play coy,
Mei's eating out of your hand.

Mei? Only as a dance partner.

She's totally into Otto,
even if she pretends not to be.

I don't want a repeat.
I've made enough sad music videos.

Besides, my eye's on someone else.

Daisy. Yeah, love it.

You two are Lady and the tr*mp,
a timeless classic.

-Who said it's Daisy?
-Your eyes.

Anyway, wish me luck.

You don't need it. Go crush it.

Help.

I can't.

Smells like cheap cologne.

There are little stinging plants
that are super venomous

waiting for you to step barefoot,
to stab you.

It feels so good to sink my feet
and hands into some fresh grass.

It helps release
all that negative energy.

Glad you realized

Delfina's just
a misleading advertisement.

I'd give you a medal,
for opening those pretty eyes.

Thanks, Ada.

But I settled all my issues with her.

Face to face?

Of course, girl.

I don't let grudges
turn into a cactus patch.

Good.

How did Delfina take it?

Really well.

Face me? She wanted to face me?

How dares she? Me?

I saved her,
like a fairy godmother,

took her off the streets,
and fed her.

Trashy brat!

She explained a few things,

listened to what I said,
and she took it really well.

"I need to get rid of this knot
choking my throat,

like a cactus that grows and grows."

You know what, insolent brat?

You're right.

Those thistles
need to be cut at the root!

Luckily,

the doors to Delfi's heart
are always open.

That's why she's so big-hearted.

I hate her!

I hate her voice, I can't stand it!

I don't want to hear her anymore!

I want her out of the contest.

Why do you still have
that sad look on your face?

Franco's visit gave me
a bad case of fliquitis.

What? Did he do something?

No, nothing.

But the stories he told Daisy

made me realize
I had a small thistle,

that's now a forest.

I get you, Delf.

I hate her too,

but we can't afford that,
people love her.

So what?

I know she's unbearable,
but she's talented.

If we kick her out,
people will complain,

we'll lose credibility.

This happened before. Remember?

I thought the past was dead,
buried and forgotten.

I didn't care if my parents
were criminals,

or didn't love me.

I've got a long future ahead
to write my story.

But now I see I need to find
the missing pages.

Take note, Yamila.

No need for pen and paper,
just note it mentally.

From love to hate
is just one step away.

What we need to do
is help Margarita

take that step
and become a bad seed.

And once people start
canceling her in their minds,

what will happen?

They'll shout from rooftops
to kick her out.

They see me so sweet
And I am so kind

Unreachable
Like a star I shine

Nothing can hurt me
I'm like ice, so cold

I just smile bright
And heaven's doors unfold

I am the sorceress
Envied for my art

A kind-hearted queen
Disguised in every part

My desires
Always take the lead

I'm as sweet
As a candy treat

Be cautious

Queen of all
Ruler of all

I can handle everything
And more

I dream of riches

Abundant treasures
It'll never be enough for me

Queen of everything
Ruler of all

I can handle everything
And more, more, more

I dream of riches

Abundant treasures
It'll never be enough for me

The pain they caused me

But revenge is sweet, you see

Pity those who dare to harm

For my magic holds great charm
