A little bell went off when I read "para que sepas" because she does say that as well. Could she just be abbreviating this to "sepas" do you think?

The normal abreviation as I know it is "pa' que sepa". I have heard "sabes" used at the end of sentances, but not really in the subjuntive form like "sepa". Of course I am not a native speaker, so that is why I asked Norma for more clarification. I do live here in Santiago. Like Norma says - here to learn.
