01x24 - One Step Closer

[bunniefuu]

Previously on

You do know Kaboom for real, right?
Would you really reach out to him for me?

-[♪ upbeat music playing]
-He just unblocked me!

[over cellphone]
I have some good and some bad news.

The good news is that I'm not a thief.
The bad news is I love bachata!

Could you give me a hand
with Noe and Saray?

You got yourself into this,
it's up to you get out of it.

What if we base our choreo
on Bollywood movies?

-[santoor rings]
-It's so cool, bro!

-Where'd you get it?
-Nieves gave it to me.

Mm, macarons.
It's not raspberry or blackberry,

my favorites, but, oh, well…
[chuckles] …it's something.

[Inés] Are you sure the macarons
weren't from David?

I messaged him about it
but he said it wasn't him.

I think Ayla is into you.
I mean, there's something going on.

One of the girls twisted her foot

and wasn't able
to compete in the semifinal.

So, we have to ensure
that Ayla won't be able to dance either.

I know you asked Esmeralda
to adopt you instead of adopting me!

Why did you tell her
I wanted you to adopt me?

Eric! He told me
I should adopt her instead of you.

-You're still gonna adopt me?
-Of course, silly girl.

You're a good person.

I'm sure you'll find someone
who appreciates that.

I quit.

[♪ music concludes]

[traffic rumbling]

-[♪ soft music playing over speaker]
-It's just so amazing

that we're back
to best friends forever again.

We have a lot of things
to talk about so I made a-- [giggles]

-A list.
-A list.

Point number one.

"What'll happen now
that David betrayed all of the Mirrors?

-"A, never talk to him again."
-[sighs deeply]

"B, never talk to him again and bring out
the death stare whenever he's there.

"C, total, complete ghosting."

It's "C." And don't mention him,
'cause I wanna relax a bit.

-[breathes deeply]
-Okay, so now we're at point number two.

Yago.

-Is there anything between you two?
-[sighs] No, no more than friends.

-You should change that position, Ayla.
-Okay.

No, I'm talking about Yago.

I think you'd make such a pretty couple.

I don't know.
It was hard enough to become friends.

-I don't wanna screw that up.
-How complicated.

Yep, yep.

No, now I'm talking about your yoga pose.

Well, that doesn't matter.
Item number three.

"Did you finally find your socks
with the pentagrams?

-"A, no. B--"
-[Ayla] No, no, no.

It's my turn to ask something.

How are you? Anything new going on?

I'm fine. I'm so excited
about the adoption. [giggles]

But I know you don't wanna talk about it.

[sighs] Of course I do.

Right. But your visions. Ooh, ooh.

Well, I've been thinking lately

and they're likely just things
that happen in my mind.

Are you trying to say that… [giggles]

As long as you're fine…

I'm just great! Especially now, because…
[yelps] Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!

[♪ comical music playing]

It's a cramp in my calf.
Can you massage it a bit please?

[sighs]

Ow. Ow. Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow!

More chocolate gelato, thank you.

-[giggles, gasps]
-[♪ comical music playing]

[sighs]

[yawns]

I haven't slept that well in a long time.

Well, hey there, universe.
Well, hello, Pinchito.

[♪ music concludes]

All right, open up.

What's so important
that we have to do this before breakfast?

-There is nothing more important…
-[sighs]

-…than breakfast.
-Come on, guys, it'll be quick.

The choreo for the final is looking good,

mm, but we need to find a way
to add more Indian moves.

[breathes deeply] Yeah, I feel you.

You know what?
We should do something inspiring.

I mean…
[gasps] What about eating Indian?

-That's brilliant!
-[chuckles]

Culture right into our stomachs,
culture into our flow.

-[Paola chuckles]
-Uh. Fine.

But please stop talking
about food in front of me.

I have more ideas.
We could watch some Bollywood,

-or we could… Uh…
-[♪ cheerful music playing]

Anyone have more? [chuckles]

Oh, Kako has an instrument from India.
We could play it if he taught us.

-[chuckles]
-[Sofía] Mm, playing an Indian instrument.

I like it! What else, what else,
what else? [gasps] Indian pottery?

I once saw this video
where they make bowls that are super cool.

-Indian pottery. I love it! [chuckles]
-[Yago] I'm down with the pottery thing.

But only if the bowls come with cereal.

-[laughs] Let's go.
-[chuckles]

-[birds chirping]
-[bell chiming]

Eric? Eric!

Eric, I can't find my coffee
or my eggs Benedict!

[huffs] Where's my breakfast? Eric!

[gasps] Wait a minute.

It's been a day already?
[gasps] Oh, là, là.

[gasps] Well, we'll be good.

It can't be that difficult
to make breakfast, hmm?

Esmeralda in the kitchen!

[♪ comical music playing]

Wait a minute, where is the kitchen?

[Eric gasps, breathes deeply]

[cutlery clinking]

[indistinct chatter]

-[♪ upbeat music playing]
-[sighs]

-The morning, I prepared the boss'…
-Whoa, whoa.

…special breakfast!

What's this?

Did I miss something?
Is this a Michelin star restaurant now?

I think that the boss deserves the best.
We have fruits and yogurt.

No, thank you, Eric. I made a coffee.

That's all? Oh, no, ma'am.
It's vital to gain fuel

for facing the adventures
of the day. [chuckles]

-Well, it's 'cause I'm a rebel.
-[chuckles nervously]

Is… is it the eggs?
You… you don't like them?

I made ham, there's cheese, and muesli.

-Want more muesli?
-[groans]

Coffee, a calm mind, that's it.

-[Eric] Oi! Your nails.
-Oi.

They're dull, huh? [chuckles]
Would you like a mani-pedi later today?

Is that too much?

But I'm… I'm--
I made a pretty good breakfast, didn't I?

Didn't I?

-Eh…
-[clears throat] I did.

-[♪ music fades]

So, is this the thing that's so important
you needed to tell me?

-[birds chirping]
-No, actually…

[zipper hisses]

…I got this for you.

-Aretha Franklin!
-[Noe chuckles]

-[♪ cheerful music playing]
-[stammers] But how?

I can't believe you know I love her.

It's 'cause, uh, Kaboom likes her.
I imagined that you'd also love Aretha.

[chuckles] But how'd you get this?

I took it from my father.
But don't tell anyone.

-You stole it from your father?
-[Noe] Meh.

He's got more than I could even count.
He never listens to them.

-You'll enjoy it a lot more.
-[chuckles] Well, I appreciate it a lot.

But, uh… what's it for?

[inhales deeply]
It's 'cause I was unblocked by Kaboom!

-[chuckles]
-You're serious?

[chuckles] Yeah, and I thought
it was all thanks to you.

You talked to him, right?

[stammers] Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
We talked a little. Yeah.

[chuckles] Well, I mean, thanks.

-[chuckles] Of course.
-[chuckles softly]

[David] What's up, little Mirror?

Hey, Noe. Can we talk?

-I'm kinda busy talking to Kako.
-Please, Noe?

It's all right. I'll meet you later.

[♪ pensive music playing]

-[David] You're hanging with him now?
-[Noe] What do you want?

A lot of things actually.
Video game, uh, Football Zombies,

a new pair of shoes,
and a much better sister.

[sighs] Bad choices, man.

[clicks tongue] Mostly,
I wanna rejoin the Steps.

Are you kidding me right now?
Sorry, David, but you're cut.

You're seriously not gonna let me back?

Nope. If you're mad about the final
for Move You, I couldn't care less.

It's not for that.

-Well, it's not only for that.
-Hmm.

I miss moments like doing choreo with you.

Well, too bad, because we don't like
making choreos with you.

But, hey, high school is a great place
to connect with others.

-You're not really serious.
-[scoffs]

-Fine. Well, I'll get other friends.
-Hmm. Well, good luck.

Well, thank you.

-Well, it's nothing! [sighs]
-Well, see you around!

And say "bye"
to the last flan in the fridge.

-[♪ quirky music playing]
-[huffs]

[♪ music concludes]

In this house, we eat at exactly 9:00 a.m.

Well, I'll have my breakfast,
you will find another time for yours.

After that, we'll have a session
for makeup and hair.

[clicks tongue] Around mid-day,
we'll need to leave and run errands.

Well, it's just you going.

I'll be busy taking
my first nap of the day.

-Are you getting all of this?
-[♪ whimsical music playing]

In the afternoon, we'll begin my rounds
of regenerative treatments and so on.

And of course, dinner,

which can't be a minute later
than the set time,

-which is usually at… at random.
-And how will I know when?

Oh, no idea.

But if it's out too late or too early,
on this day, you won't be paid.

-Any questions?
-Yes. May I review the contract?

Contract?

Please, kind, young gent,
this is a unique opportunity

for you to work
for someone like me, who'd be--

And where do you think you're going?

[scoffs] The youth of today
just don't want to work hard.

You can't leave this window open
like this, bro.

[window locks]

Of course,
you must taste bad to mosquitos.

[♪ upbeat Indian music
playing over laptop]

Hold on, I'm so lost.

Is the girl not in love
with the blonde guy?

She is, but she's just pretending
to hide it from her father,

because he's poor.

Then who's the guy in red?

Ranjit.
He's the rich twin of the blonde guy

And you're sure
this movie's really a big hit in India?

-Of course, because it's amazing!
-It's so dull.

I'm getting pretty good.

It's just… I was never good
at these kinds of things.

[birds chirping]

-This is ugly.
-Well, I'm liking it.

[Yago] Because you're a natural.

Is this your first time?

Uh, 'course. I'm sorry.

-It's fine, don't worry.
-[sighs]

How are you doing?

I'm starting to remember some things.
About my parents and that.

-Hmm.
-[♪ emotional music playing]

But, um…

I'm not sure if it's better
that I don't remember.

-Why?
-What if I don't like what I discover?

You know, I think it's always better
to know what's real.

Even if you don't like it?

I mean, at least you'll know the truth.

Hey, look…

it didn't turn out so bad after all.

[♪ comical music playing]

Uh, sure. Sure, sure, sure.

-And what's that?
-The handle!

-[gasps softly]
-Come on, it's a teacup! Duh!

-Oh, of course!
-[chuckles]

-Mm-hmm.
-If you say so.

Hmm.

-Ayla!

-You broke my cup!

-[Eric] Yes?

-Oh, my goodness!
-Ma'am… ma'am. Apologies, apologies.

I just saw a while back
that your desk was wobbly.

-[chuckles nervously]
-Eric, I never asked for this.

And you should probably
have told me before,

because I have a session.

Mm?

No, no! Please, I'll do it.
Don't worry, ma'am.

-And stop calling me ma'am, Eric!
-Sorry, sorry, ma'am. As you wish.

No, I mean, just as you wish, ma'am.
Wait, wait. As you wish.

-Mm-hmm.
-Fine, thank you.

That's okay, it's nothing.
At your service, señora. [gasps]

[sighs]

Eh… Sorry. At your service, Sandra.

Eric, I have a session.

And do you need anything?
Ooh, a glass of water?

A spot of tea? Or a bit of sugar?

How about my desk!

You got it.

Um… more toward the occipital.

[♪ quirky music playing]

I did interview others,

but I get the sensation that you and I,
we're gonna be best friends.

Ugh, that's the parietal.
No, this isn't working.

I can't function like this. You’re fired.

-Me.
-[♪ comical music playing]

And for that,
I'll need each of you to give it your all.

We're gonna begin with an easy one.
Mm, classic. Get an umbrella.

one, and two.

Bounce, bounce, brace, and up, and around…

You need to do it with me, you guys.

Eric, c'est moi.

Just calling because I don't need you
for anything, and that's absolute.

[scoffs] I still believe
you're an imbecile, you're pathetic.

But, uh, if by any chance
you wanna come back,

I would agree
to put it under consideration.

-Yes, I do.
-[gasps]

-[♪ quirky music playing]
-Not an inch closer, filthy possum.

In actuality, I've had a wonderful day
without you. Marvelous, in fact.

Well, I have had a day that was…
[chuckles] …fabulous!

Did you know that I no longer
even require an assistant.

And I don't need work.

This house has found a silence
that's delicious. [scoffs]

There's nobody here playing…
[imitates castanets clacking] …Sevillanas.

Well, I've connected
with a lovely mannequin

who's amazing, who doesn't cry
when I push back her cuticles.

My cuticles are perfectly fine
where they are!

And the Sevillanas are art!

So, let's see…

-admit it now.
-Mm.

You need an assistant.

And I think that you miss having me here.

-A bit. In your own way!
-[scoffs]

Confess already.

-Do you want me to come back?
Uh--

If that's what you want…

-[giggles]
-I accept.

[laughs] It's a deal!
But I have conditions.

-You what?
-It's just little conditions.

[clears throat] One,
there's no way I'm breaking any legs.

Two, I want churros once a month.

And three, when you give me my tasks,
say "please."

-Oh, yeah, of course! Are you mad?
-And no more insulting…

for one month.

It's a deal.

Let me see.

-And what if you take off the handle…
-Mm-hmm.

-…and make it into a plate.
-Mm-hmm.

Okay, you press down this end.

-Hmm?
-Yeah. There.

[Ayla] Sometimes, simpler is prettier.

Hmm, sure, of course, Lady Ayla
just likes the simple things in life.

[scoffs] Yeah, bozo.
Of course I like simple things. I mean…

Well, I mean…

Oh, come on…

How about some macarons?
Blackberry and raspberry?

Yeah, super simple. [snickers]

It was you.

You left me the case of macarons.

I-- It was dumb.

[breathes deeply] No, it wasn't.

You know, if this is supposed
to be a plate, it's way too small.

Mm. Plate for appetizers.

-A pretty sad appetizer.
-There's space for at least five pickles.

[both laugh]

-Maybe a few more, right? [laughs]
-[laughs]

[Ayla chuckles softly]

For the love of God.
Who closed this bottle? The Hulk?

-By the way, you look awful.
-Yeah. I couldn't sleep the whole night.

-You had… [grunts]… work? Uh! It's close.
-If you said "work," then yes.

-I think they want to close Ayla's case.
-[groans]

-What a fiasco.
-Well, it's just trail mix.

No, I was talking about Ayla.

-Oh, yeah.

No. No, no. And I don't want her to know
