No Such Thing as Bad Publicity | |
| Grand Hotel / int_12b1f5f3 | comment |
No Such Thing as Bad Publicity: In-universe example. During a concert, El Rey accidentally starts a fire in the hotel yard. Santiago and Alicia are worried this will ruin the hotel but Gigi tells reporters how it shows El Rey's performance abilities and that he'll be doing a regular gig at the hotel. Sure enough, phones are ringing off the hook for people wondering if the man will live up to his vow to "burn the whole hotel down." | |

| Grand Hotel / int_1484dba1 | comment |
Foreshadowing: In episode 9, Helen talks of how she and her husband had tried for years to have a child only to suffer several miscarriages with doctors thinking it was something wrong with Malcolm's sperm. Thus, when Jason was born, they called him a "miracle child." This is actually a major clue that Malcolm is not Jason's father as he's the product of a one-night stand Helen had with Santiago. | |

The Prima Donna: El Rey sure qualifies. He texts about an "emergency" which turns out to be that the pastries he has mailed first-class from his mother in Los Angeles are a day old. He also insists on various crazy items and Alicia has to control her temper handling his diva requests. That's not mentioning his stunts like driving a motorcycle right through the hotel lobby. | |

Rich in Dollars, Poor in Sense: While Santiago and Gigi worked to get where they are, it's clear Javi, Carolina and Yoli have been spoiled rotten all their lives and no idea how to handle things. That comes up when all three are forced to work at the hotel during a strike with Carolina, in particular, having no clue how to handle actual work and the more sensible Yoli spending hours mopping floors in heels. | |

Naturally, Carolina can't live a life without money and tells Byron it's over. He's sorry...as he made the whole thing up and was just making sure it was his money she was after. | |

Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Incredibly, Carolina turns out to be this. When Yoli goes public about her relationship with Marissa, Carolina doesn't mock her sister at all but instead, is fully behind her and makes it clear all her various supposed "judging" of Yoli was just her way of trying to help. She openly states it doesn't matter at all to her if her sister is gay as long as she's happy. Yoli is amazed at the realization of just how much her twin truly loves her. | |

Helen assures her Santiago is not with Gigi and Beatriz can't be upset over "something that happened fifteen years ago." Beatriz instantly states she never said when Santiago had the affair and thus realizes Helen was the one-night stand. | |

Yoli opens up a lockbox to look at a photograph of her and Sky kissing with Sky writing "love" on the back. At the end of episode 9, Danny's ex-girlfriend checks into the hotel. A literal version in episode 11 as Mateo shoots Theresa. At the end of episode 12, Santiago watches video of the night Skye vanished to see a crying Gigi in a blood-stained dress. Fittingly, the last one of the season: Santiago is seemingly shot and killed in his office. | |

| Grand Hotel / int_644eca71 | comment |
Rich Bitch: Carolina is mean, vain and self-obsessed. Gigi also has shades of this, but hides it better. When Gigi shares how she had to work as a cocktail waitress to make ends meet for her girl, Carolina's reaction is to be horrified she had been eating "cocktail oranges" for snacks. The twins justify their attitude by the fact that it's Gigi who has the money for being married to Santiago and should anything happen to the two of them, Carolina and Yoli would be left with pretty much nothing. | |

But for Me, It Was Tuesday: When Ingrid realizes Mateo would rather she get an abortion than supporting their child, she instead goes to Javi and makes him think he's the father. It works because Javi has slept with so many women that he honestly believes there's a great chance that he just doesn't remember Ingrid and is the father. | |

Jerkass Has a Point | |
| Grand Hotel / int_6b05b601 | comment |
Jerkass Has a Point: While Gigi seems to be throwing her weight around as Alicia's supervisor, she does point out how two years of business school does not mean Alicia is ready to be the manager of the hotel. The fact Alicia makes so many mistakes does back her up. Gigi suspends Alicia for giving El Rey a motorcycle that he drove around the lobby. Alicia goes to complain to Helen about it but Helen responds that "if it was me, I'd have fired you on the spot." Santiago reacts badly when he's told Ingrid is having Javi's baby, thinking she's trying to trick him and is after their money and all his family thinks he's being a Jerkass about it... except that's exactly what Ingrid is doing. While Heather reacts very badly to Danny having dumped her for Alicia, she does raise the excellent point that Danny talks of having a trusting relationship but hasn't told Alicia the truth about being Sky's brother. At first, Carolina and Yoli complaining about not having a fortune of their own seems to be just being selfish. However, Gigi realizes they're onto something with the fact that she's only wealthy because she's married to Santiago so if anything happens to him (or her), the hotel and money go to Javi and Alicia and the twins are basically left with nothing. | |

The Reveal | |
| Grand Hotel / int_6b2b3b59 | comment |
The Reveal: Danny is the brother of the maid, Sky Garibaldi, who vanished in a hurricane and is determined to find out what happened to her. It's revealed that Beatriz was suffering from bipolar disorder and, by her own decision, was often locked up in a hotel room for hard episodes. It also turns out that during a rare dose of sanity, she made the mistake of giving Felix Santiago's money and thus, it was Beatriz who was the cause of the hotel's problems. Santiago and Helen had an affair and Santiago is actually Jason's father. Malcolm killed Skye, saying it was to protect Gigi but Danny figures it's also so Skye wouldn't reveal how Malcolm wasn't Jason's father. | |

Alicia's reaction is to fire him on the spot. The next episode has Helen explaining to Alicia that unless she can give an actual specific reason why she's firing Danny, it can't hold up. She adds that firing an employee Alicia had just been sleeping with without giving just cause is blatantly illegal so Danny keeps his job. | |

At a party meant to be open to Yoli being gay, Gigi shares a story of being so proud of Yoli as a child doing a solo during a dance recital. She can't understand why Yoli storms out...until Yoli explains that it was Carolina who did that solo. Gigi is rocked to realize she couldn't even remember a great story with Yoli. Gig is forced to admit that Yoli always reminded her of her duplicitous ex-husband and thus subconciously pushed her away which she regrets. | |

Not So Above It All: Yoli often acts as she's far more sensible and down to earth than Carolina. However, when she has to work at the hotel spa, she complains on how unattractive the uniform is while mopping in heels. When she notes this is the hardest she's ever worked in her life, a co-worker dryly states this is easy compared to the work she does to barely make ends meet. Yoli thus realizes that, in her own way, she's just as spoiled and entitled as her twin is. | |

When Helen threatens to quit over Santiago not paying the staff and being cut out in favor of Mateo, Santiago tells her the truth of the secret deal he's made. A cop recognizes Danny from when he was asking the police about his sister. She tells him she suspects her partner was bribed not to look into the case and that both of them have an interest in finding out what really happened. In the finale, Danny relates he'll keep secret how Malcolm killed Skye, not for Malcolm's sake but because he doesn't want to destroy Jason or Helen over this. | |

As it turns out, the whole thing is a massive cover for the "models" being auctioned off into slavery to wealthy bidders. | |

It's All About Me: Felix has this as he contends Santiago turned the Feds on him just to get at Gigi, not because Felix stole millions of dollars from many people, including Santiago. He also takes it for granted Gigi and the girls will give up their entire lives to join him on the run and can't understand why Gigi would be with Santiago. When Gigi cleans him out of his stolen money and returns to Santiago, Felix groans to Yoli on how "he has your mother brainwashed", unable to accept that just maybe Gigi doesn't want to be with a selfish, greedy, thieving scumbag. | |

Played for Laughs when Helen accidentally eats some cookies laced with pot meant for her ill husband. Before long, she's doing revealing photos online and singing in the hotel bar. | |

Resignations Not Accepted: A variation as Santiago figures all he needs to do is pay off the loan and Theresa is out of his hair. Instead, she says the money doesn't matter to her at all and she will continue to use the hotel for her needs. When Santiago presses Mateo, he points out how he's been trying to get away from her since he was 20 years old and all the money they can offer won't get them out from under her thumb. | |

Self-Made Man: Santiago prides himself on this. During a staff strike, he tells the kitchen staff how he started off in a kitchen "back when I had nothing" and worked his way up to management and then owning several establishments before buying the hotel. He also shows them he's still an expert chef. Despite how she's currently living a rich lifestyle, Gigi relates she was left broke by her husband and thus, as a single mother, had to work as a cocktail waitress to make ends meet for her daughters. | |

Locked Out of the Loop: Alicia assumes Gigi is behind her dad's decision to sell the hotel and so works to sabotage the wedding that would also be the big deal to sell to a developer. It's afterward that Santiago reveals the hotel has been losing money for years and this was his chance to get out from under it. More importantly, Alicia (as well as Gigi) has no idea Santiago has gotten into debt with a criminal cartel. It's not until Felix leaves the hotel that Javi and Alicia become aware he was even there in the first place and also didn't know about the "secret room" that belonged to their mother. | |

Gold Digger: Ingrid is naturally called this when she claims Javi is the father of her baby. Gigi then relates how she had to put up with that same label from others when she married Santiago ... including from his own children. A major moment has Gigi shocked to realize her own daughters have long assumed she just married Santiago for his money, not love. Carolina ends up being this when she tries to get back with Byron for his cash and seems ready to bolt when he claims to have none. Sadly, it's a Secret Test of Character. | |
