Guardian Rock

Flowering Garden - Vincent van Gogh

Part 2 of 2. Fina comes in to see Cloe. Cloe tells her about the photographer who has left her high and dry. At first it seems Fina is interested in a job but then she says she won’t do it. She came back different, she states for the nth time. What she most values is her independence, and she just knows Marta is behind this. Cloe assures her she isn’t, and that Marta predicted the reaction, but Fina won’t budge.

Gabriel, driven by a weird deal he’s just made with Tasio, forces Paula into working at the store. Marta and Claudia are NOT happy.

Part 1 of 2. A sweet morning scene between Marta and Fina. Marta tries to sneak out so as not to wake Fina, but she does. Then she decides that she should just stay…but duty calls, as Fina reminds her. She can’t miss that party. Fina insists on making her breakfast or coffee. She mentions she has a job interview that afternoon, and if things don’t go her way she’ll have to look at retail. Marta reminds her she could come back to the store, but they both admit that would be a step backward.

Cloe’s photographer backs out at the last minute and she brings up Fina. Marta doesn’t think it’s a good use, for various reasons. The state of their relationship comes up, and Marta admits they’ve smoothed things over.

Marta visits the cantina and gives it the thumbs up and Mabel fangirls out.

I called over there for a reference, left word with some snooty girl. Next thing you know, I got a fax from Miranda Priestly herself… saying that of all the assistants she's ever had… you were, by far, her biggest disappointment. And, if I don't hire you, I am an idiot. You must have done something right.
