chica, ¿qué dices?

Marta overhears Valentina reprimanding another worker for spreading rumors about Begoña. She asks about it and Valentina admits that the rumor is that Begoña is having an affair with Eduardo, the de la Reina chauffeur. Marta then tells Valentina she knows she’s broken up with Andrés, and she asks her how she’s doing. Valentina admits it isn’t easy, and Marta tells her she’s there for her if Valentina needs anything, that she knows how tough this can be.

Marta and Andrés discuss Brossard’s death, and the future of the company still in limbo because of it. Marta then tells him about the rumors surrounding Begoña.

Fina and Marta have a coffee date. (Poorly written, the first half is just a recompiling of yesterday’s Brossard conversation and provides zero new information to either character.) Fina had a job interview which she admits to went badly—hey we’re looking for a man. Not a total waste of time, she took the opportunity to go to Marta’s favorite cake shop and bought her some magdalenas. Marta also has a gift for Fina. A book of poetry by Rosa Chacel she would read during Fina’s absence and which she wished she could have shared with her. We could read it together, she says. And Fina, clearly emotional, agrees. I love having you near, she admits. You do me so much good. Marta has a flashback to Bianca’s phone call, but says nothing. They share the pastry and Marta says she misses when they would cook together. Fina tells her the kitchen in her apartment is almost ready.
