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.
