As Kimmie is dragged out, she takes the tico berries and throws the basket into the pond, just as Lima arrives for the shoot. Wilhelmina is quickly offended and immediately fires Kimmie and has her escorted away by security, even as she tried to blame Betty, Amanda and Marc for sabotaging her but Wilhelmina is not amused. Marc and Amanda are persistent by setting Kimmie up, with Betty to deliver the coup de grace, but Betty then has a change of heart and confesses to Kimmie, who thinks Betty is using reverse psychology, not knowing that Betty's "confession" would actually be her downfall, and it would be Wilhelmina who would deliver the final straw when she arrives at the shoot as Kimmie's attitude finally comes out by becoming bossy and telling her that she is in charge. At first Betty resists the idea of sabotaging Kimmie's back, but later on at the meeting room the two would witness Betty getting upset after learning Kimmie had intercepted Adriana at the airport in order to take credit for the work, so Betty gives in. So Marc and Amanda approach Betty to join forces to get Kimmie fired. She's made enemies with former fast friends Marc and Amanda, first by socially snubbing them and then replacing Cliff with another photographer. It look like Kimmie's power trip has gone too far. Wilhelmina and Daniel bring Kimmie in to help with the shoot. Betty excuses herself and Kimmie swoops in to steal the spotlight.

Kimmie, who is fumed by this move, is bent on sabotaging Betty's coup. Betty scores a major coup, with Adriana agreeing to do the cover and a feature about the fruit for Mode, and thus earns the job of project manager as Daniel and Wilhelmina kill the "Sizzling Hot" issue. When Daniel ask what she was going to submit, she sees a fruit stand and is inspired.Ĭhallenged to think of a "hot" fruit to feature, and after showing off exotic fruits to the Suarez family, Betty learns that Adriana Lima is a huge fan of the super-rare fruit, the "tico berry" (a fictional fruit, portrayed in the episode by rambutans). The following day Betty decides that she is not about to let Kimmie get all the glory for pitching an idea for Mode's upcoming "Sizzling Hot" issue, so Betty stumbles upon her own brilliant idea by running it by Daniel as they leave the building. Later at her apartment, Betty tells Jesse about her work, so he gives her something to boost her confidence by dedicating a song to Betty. Kimmie lords her associate editorship over Betty, demanding lunch and other demeaning things, including taking up Daniel's time and telling Betty that all she will ever be in life is just an assistant. Betty is stunned that she has now to compete with Kimmie, who finally shows her true colors now that she is the associate editor.

In addition, their workers have an association called ASECATTICA that organizes an at-cost commissary for major staple items, trips, and even soccer teams. La Minita contributes to a matching saving fund for each of their workers and offer low cost loans to assist workers in need. La Manita employs around 50 full-time workers and many more seasonal farmers and pickers during harvest season. On the farm, they employ a one in three pruning system to maintain the consistent health and productivity of the coffee trees.
