Season 2 · Episode 9 · Act 3
Doña Vela’s Rule
Doña Vela tells them the truth: how long they get to stay is decided by the living, not by them. As long as someone remembers your name, you’re still here — what El Otro keeps counting is how many people still remember him. The answer is zero.

Where this episode leads
Its destination on this site:
Go to this story lineThis episode's destination is registered as “page”, which is not an item on the shelf — so there is no link to the shop here. Which product it should point at is a human decision, not one this page can make.
The other route: reaching the shelf by spec
This episode’s specs
This episode has no specs recorded.
This episode has no specs recorded yet, so what follows is empty — what is missing is the set of tags saying what this episode calls for, not matching products on the shelf. Those are two different sentences.
No match was ever attempted: with no specs there is nothing to filter on. The candidate pool currently holds 25 products; they were not excluded, they were simply never asked.
The 25 products in the candidate pool are the ones that are on sale and already have a row in the enrichment table. How many products are on sale was not read this time, so “how many are outside this denominator” cannot be answered. Why it could not be read: This time only the candidate pool was read (products on sale that already have an enrichment row), not the total number of products on sale — the two have to be read in one query, because subtracting numbers read at two different moments gives a false difference. Until that number is in hand, do not read the denominator above as the whole shelf.
- Occasion: 23 of the 25 products in the pool carry the tag, but this episode has no spec on this dimension yet. What is missing is a decision on the content side, not data.
