    Summary

    “Start with deep breaths,” Paulina remembers Chuy say — or rather, Dr. Cohen, her father, say through his funny sock puppet. “And then pick out five things you can see.”

    Oddly enough, the memory of that particular scene is pretty clear in her mind. She remembers what she wore that day (tan culottes and a crisp white shirt, along with a pair of sensible maroon mules), the bread Salomón had offered her left forgotten on the desk (she had politely declined it), all the way down to the socks her psychiatrist-turned-father-figure had worn on his feet (pink and blue stripes). What isn’t clear, however, was why she is recalling it at this precise moment, as she meets Alejo’s eyes with her own. He is standing at the elevator, the open door having just revealed to him an entangled Paulina and María José.

    ---

    Paulina tries to remember a coping technique Chuy had taught her — except she is a little busy at that exact moment having her ex-wife take her breath away. Spoiler alert for S3, and follows the story from S3E8 until the end!
