  • She made a video tape of various different clips to satisfy Dufayel
  • She sent her fathers gnome around the world with her air hostess friend, Philomene, and had various different photographs taken which allowed him to have the courage to travel as he'd always wanted too.
  • She gave the scrapbook back to Nino in the hope it would get her noticed by him also solving the mystery of the bald man from the scrapbook
  • She put Hipolito in the understanding that his writing had made a difference by writing each quote of his on a wall for him to see
