As her marriage to Marcos comes to an end, 37-year-old Malena Carregal confronts a vastly different reality — jobless and facing an uncertain future after 15 years of building up the events agency which is now in Marcos' hands. But in this moment of crisis, Malena meets Cali, an intriguing and ambitious woman who breathes new energy into Malena's life.
2023
Cali’s return of the money she took doesn’t lead to forgiveness – Malena is keeping her former business partner at a distance and is intent on cutting ties with her altogether. Also, Malena's regrettable run-in with Marcos at her parents’ vow renewal ceremony unearths a piercing confession, Javier skips the wedding at the last minute and Julio reappears and disappears in Andy’s life.
Strapped for cash, Cali takes a job with a vengeful Marcos who is planning an act of revenge against Malena and her agency. While planning a VIP art event, Malena and her team have their hotel suite taken by Marcos. But Marcos’ plan goes much further than the hotel suite and ultimately pushes Cali to make a choice after he causes an “explosive" display at Malena’s event.
Malena decides to sell the house – and the memories that go with it – and the first potential buyer is none other than Marcos. Cali has to take Clara to the hospital when her water breaks, and she tries again to rebuild her friendship with Malena without success, who is also there to help her sister give birth. Andy, meanwhile, refuses to subject himself to another round of treatment.
In need of a break from the agency and an opportunity to reconnect with herself, Malena books a ticket to the south. Andy invites her for a night out as a going away, while purposely not mentioning his health situation. Later, Cali comes to the rescue after Malena and Andy’s night out ends with sex in a bathroom bar and Clara opens her home to her sister and Cali.
2023
Malena assesses her life after a divorce from Marcos. Her ex-husband is to become the sole owner of the events agency that Malena worked for over the last 15 years, and will only walk away with a payout. Struggling to adjust to an empty home and uncertain future, Malena strikes up a connection with Cali, a woman of energy, fresh perspective, and with an offer to organize an event.
Cali proposes an event for the launch of a Russian vodka brand. As things pick up for Malena’s project, and her home slowly becomes a quasi command center for the new endeavor, her ex-husband Marcos questions what effect it will have on her time with their son Javi. Later, Malena turns to her friend Ray for technical and emotional support.
Malena and Cali are caught by surprise by the sudden cancellation of a job. The opportunity to plan a wake leads Malena into a dramatic ceremony filled with scorned lovers, secret children, and impulsive encounters. Cali, meanwhile, must handle unresolved matters from the past and sets out to reconnect with her estranged husband. Also, the team settles on a name for the new agency.
The wedding of a beef magnate’s daughter becomes priority number one for the agency. But the big day is hit by a series of missteps, which aren’t made easier by disagreements between the bride and her father, leading Malena to lose control of the event. Also, Javi breaks up with his girlfriend, Ray quits Marcos’ firm, and Cali's husband announces his return to Argentina.
The wedding ends on a high note after Cali de-escalates a clash between the bride and her father; Malena, Andy and Cali are on a high note after another successful event, but a plumbing emergency forces them to change offices in a hurry. Later, Malena finds out that she will be competing against Marcos for a potential project. Also, Cali receives some bad news from her husband.
As business picks up the agency, Malena begins to fall out of sync with Javi; after a quarrel, Javi decides to go stay with his father, which eventually leads him to take part in an out-of-control divorce party for his dad. The fallout ends up reaching Malena after the media misinterprets the story. Also, Andy spends time with his daughter and Malena meets an attractive man.
Javi is having trouble in school, which leads to even more friction between his parents. Malena, sensing that Cali is neither here nor there, tries to reach out to her to give support. Malena manages to navigate an especially demanding bar mitzvah and keep the hosts and guests happy, but a health scare brings the evening to an unfortunate close.
Malena and Andy’s daughter Imara arrive at the hospital, where Andy is to undergo a kidney transplant. An unexpected visitor brings Andy face to face with Julio, Imara’s father and his former partner. A family lunch to celebrate Javier’s birthday is ruined – at least for Malena – with Marcos’ surprise attendance. Also, Cali goes missing under suspicious circumstances.
Malena is forced to abandon the event after Javi has a fender bender in his father’s car. United in concern for their son, Malena and Marcos manage to strike a truce and promise to work together. Cali’s disappearance and emptying of agency accounts hangs over the planning of a major event. Malena faces a familiar scenario after Cali reappears trying to make things right.
