GUARANTEED PASS
Episode 1- La aventura comienza
As Jamie sits in her room in Los Ángeles, she tells us about her family and the reasons for her
upcoming adventures in México. We learn that she will study in Querétaro for the summer. This
trip will allow Jamie to improve her Spanish and to find out about her great grandmother who
died before the Mexican Revolution. Her great grandmother was a wealthy, famous woman who
mysteriously disappeared. Jamie shows us a picture of her and tells us that her nickname was
"La Catrina." Jamie's Spanish teacher wraps up class with a reminder to her students to keep
speaking, practicing, and reading in Spanish over the summer. "La maestra" informs the class
that Jamie and Felipe will be spending their summer in México. Jamie speaks with Felipe after
class and reminds him that they must speak in Spanish. They meet at 8:00 on Friday and travel
by plane to Mexico City. From there, they take a train to Querétaro. We meet a new character,
Santana, who seems unusually interested in the conversation between Jamie and Felipe on the
train. Meanwhile, in Querétaro, Jamie's host family eagerly awaits "his" arrival. There's been a
mix-up, and they believe Jamie to be a boy. This presents a problem since the Navarro's have a
son, Carlos, with whom the American would share a room. Needless to say, Carlos is very
excited to meet Jamie. Santana makes a phone call to the Biblioteca Central to inform the
director, Demetrio Alcocer, that Jamie and Felipe are, indeed, in Querétaro.
Episode 2- En casa de los Navarro
Jamie arrives at the Navarro's home. Carlos speaks with his friend, María Linares, but doesn't
mention the mix-up. Meanwhile, Sr. & Sra. Navarro discuss the fact that Jamie cannot stay
there. Sra. Navarro calls Berta Linares, María's mother, to see about the possibility of her staying
in their home. Later, she explains the situation to Jamie. The following day, Jamie goes to the
Linares home and together, the girls visit her school, Tecnológico de Monterrey. They talk about
their classes and after-school activities. Demetrio, the director of the library in Querétaro, and
Santana meet. Santana informs Demetrio that he has been following Jamie and that she is
interested in finding out about her great-grandmother. Demetrio shows Santana a picture of "La
Catrina" and the detective confirms that Jamie has the same picture. Demetrio mysteriously
says, "Then, yes, it is her." Meanwhile, Don Silvestre Aguilar, congressional candidate and owner
of La Hacienda de Jacaranda, drives by the Linares home. His bodyguard confirms that this is the
house where Jamie is spending the summer.
Episode 3- Un Mensaje misterioso
, On Saturday, Jamie, Carlos, and Maria have breakfast at El Arcángel, the Navarro's restaurant.
Jamie eats a traditional Mexican dish, chilaquiles. A fax arrives at the restaurant, but Sr. Navarro
dismisses it as nonsense. In the afternoon, while sightseeing, Jamie and Carlos enter an antique
store. Carlos mentions "La Catrina" when he sees a drawing by Posada. The shop owner offers
to show them a picture of a real-life Catrina. Jamie is shocked to see a picture of her own great
grandmother. The shop owner suggests that Jamie visit the Biblioteca Central and speak with
Demetrio Alcocer to find out more. Unfortunately, the library is closed on Sundays, and the
friends have plans to go to San Miguel de Allende. Jamie and Maria do a little shopping at a
store which sells traditional Mexican clothing. Jamie uses her new credit card to buy a blouse.
Later, while having lunch at a restaurant, Don Silvestre and his bodyguards discuss Jamie and
the problem she poses for Don Silvestre's political campaign. He knows that Demetrio Alcocer
has a copy of La Catrina's last will and testament.
Episode 4- En Busca de La Catrina
Demetrio informs Silvestre of his responsibilities concerning the will of La Catrina. Silvestre
threatens Demetrio by threatening to take away his pension from working in the library.
Following their phone conversation, Jamie enters the library seeking information about her
great grandmother. Rogelio, the library clerk, directs Jamie to Demetrio. In their meeting, Jamie
gives Demetrio an envelope of information she has about her great grandmother, including a
photograph of this famous "Catrina." Demetrio is hesitant to help because of Silvestre's threat,
so he asks Jamie to return in a few day. Later that afternoon, Jamie and María run into Felipe at
school and invite him to join them in a swim. Felipe declines since he doesn't have a bathing
suit, but María assures him that he can buy one at the store. He claims he isn't an expert, but
that he will join them. It turns out that María is quite a good swimmer, and so is Felipe. Felipe
begins to show romantic interest in María, who invites Felipe to join them at a party that
evening for the international students.
Episode 5- La Historia de La Catrina
As the Navarro's eat supper, Sr. Navarro informs Carlos that he will have to work in the
restaurant that evening since they have a meeting. This messes up Carlos' plans to attend the
party that the university is throwing for the exchange students. His father gets angry and
reminds Carlos that the business supports the family. He's upset that Carlos is only concerned
with the environment. Carlos works for Operación Aztlán, a company devoted to promoting
awareness and to protecting the environment. Sra. Navarro offers to work at the restaurant, but
Carlos insists that he will work. He cautions his father that he, too, should be concerned about
the environment. Later, at the party, Felipe and María chat about the differences between the
States and México as well as their childhoods. They spot Jamie at the party and inquire as to the
whereabouts of Carlos. Jamie explains that Carlos had to work and suggests that they all go to
