THE REVEAL & THE PLAN
Click to view
The episode opens with Paco having gathered together his 'hombres', minus Quique and Aitor, and with Pepa and Silvia added. He reveals that Lucas is alive and Silvia nearly collapses with relief.
Lucas via video phone tells them that he knows where the Kaiser is and he needs their help to infiltrate a military base to catch him. He's asking them to do something very dangerous and highly illegal, but everyone immediately agrees.
Silvia, still overcome, tells him he'll never change, but agrees to do it for old times sake. Paco embraces her. Pepa doesn't need to answer because wither Silvia/Paco go, she is going to follow.
Povedilla asks Paco if it's okay if Rita stays out of this because if something happens, she'll need to take care of the baby. Paco sees Lola out the window and looks stricken, because she's all alone. This brings us to
UNSPOKEN CONVERSATION #1.
Pepa and Silvia stare at each other, and silently nod. Silvia asks Paco if he wants them to stay behind with Lola. He gratefully thanks them.
UNSPOKEN CONVERSATION #2
In the girl's locker room, the left behind women congratulate Lola on Sara's wedding, but when Lola expresses regret at not being able to be there for the wedding, Pepa and Silvia stare at each other, and silently nod.
Pepa suggests a bachelorette party via video conference, and everyone gets excited.
THE BACHELORETTE PARTY
Click to view
Via webcam, the girls give Sara advice about Lucas. As the first wife, Silvia warns Sara that Lucas always misses the toilet when he pees. Pepa warns Sara that women who marry Lucas have a tendency to turn gay.
She kisses Silvia to make her point. Mortified, Silvia giggles and hides behind Lola's back as Sara expresses her happiness that they're together and Rita giggles about lesbian sex.
Sara suggests there be another wedding soon, and Pepa gleefully agrees, but Silvia, still blushing, rolls her eyes and get the champagne for the toast. Sara toasts with water, even though Pepa begs her not to.
Later, Pepa and Silvia dance happily in the corner, before Sara signs off. Or thinks she does.
As she heads into the bathroom, the feed is still going, and the girls watch in horror as Alison, who IS the Kaiser (the big bad), sneaks into her room looking for Lucas. They're helpless as Sara and Alison fight, and then the camera feed breaks when two gunshots are heard. They scream.
Terrified, the girls head to the precint to try and analyze the video with montoya, and realize that Alison is the Kaiser. They manage to track down a moving van, from which Alison, who is now shot in the shoulder and bleeding, has taken a plane hostage containing the rest of the group, including Paco, Lucas, Povedilla, Salgado, Mariano, Curtis and Don Lorenzo.
They resolve to catch the van and catch Kaiser and with that, find Sara. Lola insists on coming with them.
UNSPOKEN CONVERSATION #3
In the van, a shaking Silvia tries to comfort Lola, but finds herself too distraught to offer much help. Drowning, she reaches for Pepa, and tangles their fingers desperately.
As they clasp their hands intimately, Montoya is distracted by the movement and is shocked when he looked back and sees the intimate, charged glance between the lovers. The loving, intense looks they pass between them are impossible to misinterpret.
As Silvia silently declares her love for Pepa, she realizes Montoya has seen it, and is suddenly caught. Pepa, at the moment too worried to care about the guy who never had a chance, just glances away, but Silvia, who has been intimate with Montoya, stares insecurely until Montoya offers a small, comforting smile.
Relieved, Silvia smiles back and carefully blinks her apology. Shaken, Montoya turns back to the controls, processing the fact that he was out of the game before it even started.
As they approach the van, the girls and Montoya get ready for the operation and leave lola behind.
UNSPOKEN CONVERSATION #4
They sneak up on Alison, but she warns them that she has taken the plane hostage and will
throw the hostages one by one unless they let her go.
Pepa throws up her hands, and silently instructs Silvia to do the same. As they lower to the ground, they again share a silent glance, and a nod of understanding.
Immediately they both jump up. Pepa immediately jerks up Alison's gun. It discharges harmlessly toward the ceiling. Pepa pins Alison's arms behind her and Silvia, already behind her, handcuffs her.
The Kaiser has been caught.
But it might be too late. They don't know where Sara is, and they all listen in horror as they hear a pilot tell them that a body has fallen from the plane.
Meanwhile, Sara has made it to her wedding with Lucas, who parachuted off the plane before it was taken hostage. But as she says her vows, she faints, and reveals a blood stained abdomen.
The series ends on a cliffhanger. We don't know who has been thrown off the plane, and Sara looks close to death.
And I'm dead. I'm totally dead.
I can't wait until January. It's just cruel.
And Pepa and Silvia? They kill me, you guys. They kill me dead.
