Twenty-five years later, Betty Pinzón remains a hero. She is awkward, brilliant, stubborn, and deeply human. And her first step into Ecomoda—nervous, hopeful, and completely underestimated—is one of the greatest openings in television history.

Armando, seeing only an “unfortunate” woman, helps her pick up the documents. Suddenly, he glances at her résumé. His eyes widen. He reads her academic record and her economic analysis of Ecomoda’s current crisis—a crisis he himself caused.
