When not socializing, he dreams up unrealistic and often impossible projects that are often mocked by his father's business partner, Anwar Karim.
Javier instead flies to Miami with his friends, leaving a subordinate to take his place at a very important business function.
He tells them that union troubles and an embezzling partner have led the government to freeze his assets and that, as shareholders of the company, the whole family could end up in prison.
Germán convinces them to hide and cut off all contact with friends and relatives (to protect his charade), and move into a dilapidated house his father owned in a modest area of Mexico City.
Once he finds out it's all just a plot to teach the kids a lesson, he tries to blackmail Germán into giving him power over Bárbara's trust fund.
Carlos leaves the bank and gets a real job, Javier opens a business of his own, and Bárbara and Lucho get engaged.
After the credits, Peter is inside a prison cell, for his tax debts, as two fellow inmates approach to molest him.
