Eva Longoria(Desperate Housewives) is showingSantiago Cabrera(Star Trek: Picard) that sometimes you just gotta fake it til you make it in Collider’s exclusive sneak peek at the upcoming episode ofLand of Women. In front of a stunning background dotted with rolling green hills and vineyards as far as the eye can see, Longoria’s Gala coaches Cabrera’s Amat through a sales call with a not-so-eager buyer. The pair are doing everything they can to push their winery products onto the woman at the other end of the line, who’s enjoying a big glass of red, but she’s not taking the bait. Dropping buzzwords like “limited production” and “ecological,” Amat tries to convince the buyer that she needs what they’re selling but still, she slips away. That is until he brings up a rival business, nabbing the now-eager customer hook, line, and sinker.
