Ros’s achievement
Ros revives the Salazar Bakery and secures major contracts that Flora once pursued unsuccessfully. She builds the business through daily work rather than family status.

The decision announced
Flora tells the family she will leave the bakery to Ros, who has proved she can run it. The sisters’ conflict is not magically healed, but Ros secures control of the business.
Independence made real
