Previously on Rebelde Way: Lujan made up a fake boyfriend to hide the indignity of being dickmatized by Marcos. Marizza called her out on it, so Lujan decided the best course of action, least likely to screw herself even further, was to…lie more about it. Oh, Lujan. She BSes to Marizza that she met a guy ~on the streets~ and she’s hella embarrassed to be dating some poor orphan. Marizza is suspicious, but lets it slide.
Feli confesses to Vico about her failed date, and how Hot Friend ditched her for Sol. She frets that maybe she did something wrong, and she drove Hot Friend off. Vico’s like, “No, Sol definitely stole your date.” Hee. Feli won’t believe her, and Vico’s like, okay, whatever. She changes the subject and asks Feli if she can pay her back a little later — you’ll recall Vico borrowed money from Feli for her dad — and Feli says, “Sure, whenever you can.” Aw. This won’t end well.
Tomás runs into Sol’s arms when she comes back to school. Poor dumb Tomás. He asks what she did this weekend, and she BSes that she on a double date, but just to help Feli! Tomás is almost suspicious, but then she distracts him by talking about her upcoming test. “What test? I didn’t study!” panics Tomás. Hee. Sol clarifies that she means her big meeting with Paolo the model agent guy, and Tomás is so busy comforting her that he forgets all about her possible cheating. Poor dumb Tomás.
It looks like Guido’s mom gave Pablo a little statue of the Virgin Mary, and Pablo puts it up over his bed. Aw! Guido starts needling Pablo that he wouldn’t like his mom so much if he had to live with her, and Pablo’s like, “No way, your mom’s the best!” He’s not wrong! Rocco’s like, “Uh, speaking of parents, do any of you know Vico’s mom’s boyfriend?” Guido, who met him that one time Vico’s mom was trying to hit on him, affirms. Then he notes there’s no way Rocco could’ve met him — Vico’s mom ran off with the guy ages ago, ditching Vico. Rocco is suspicious.
Fernanda gushes to Belen and Pilar that seducing Marcos is going along swimmingly, and she gives them friendship bracelets. Pilar notes that these are the same kind Mia, Vico, and Feli have, except Mia’s are gold and these are silver. I really can’t tell if she’s intentionally trying to stir shit or not. I don’t even know why she’s hanging out with Fernanda and Belen if she’s trying to turn over a new, non-gossipy leaf. Whatever.
Over at Sol’s table, Pablo gets a call from Model Agent Pablo, who wants a photo of Sol. Sol flips out in excitement, and Feli says she’ll help Sol prepare. Sol blows her off, and Feli is sadface. Also, Ana’s done Pablo and everyone’s homework for them, and Pablo offers to pay her more in exchange for her doing more homework. Ana agrees, because this is probably the easiest money she’s made in her life. Carmen barges into the cafeteria, shrieking her head off about what a delinquent Pablo is, and he smugly turns his homework in to her.
Rocco confronts Vico about her dad. He says that he doesn’t like that she’s lying to him, and Vico snaps, “Fine. He’s not my mom’s boyfriend. Don’t ask me about it again.” Sure, that totally clears it up. Rocco is even more suspicious.
In class, Manuel gushes to Francisco about how hot and noble Sabrina is. It takes Francisco wayyyy too long to bring up that Manuel has a girlfriend already, and he spends most of his time agreeing with Manuel that girls who care about the poor and are also willing to put out are the best kind of girls. Don’t encourage him, Francisco!
Marizza enters and speechifies to everyone that the show was a success, and thanks to all their efforts, they got plenty of food to give to the poor people. Corny music starts playing and they flashback to Marizza and Sonia receiving the donations. Sonia gives a big old speech about how awesome Marizza and Erreway are and how this is the greatest act of charity ever done by anyone, anywhere.
Back in the present, Dunoff’s like, “Sit down, class is starting.” He has a speech to make, about how he totally knows Erreway is back together, and he’s ready to start expelling some kids. It is STRICTLY PROHIBITED to form bands at Elite Way! They are here to learn, and to do nothing else! Well damn, Dunoff, haven’t you ever heard of extracurriculars? I feel like the university acceptance rate out of Elite Way can’t be very high. Playing rock music leads to terrible things, like drugs and cross-dressing! (Francisco nudges Diego at that. Hee.) Marizza’s all like, “Well, what if rock music is the only thing saving the poor kids of Buenos Aires from starvation?” Manuel and Pablo back her up, but then Fernanda’s all, “Whatever, poor people are gross,” and the entire class starts arguing. Dunoff’s all, “Everyone shut up, the point is we are not going to discuss real world issues at any point here in this school! Ever!”
Sonia shows up to school and corners Martavio, saying she wants to talk to his mom. How random. She BSes that she wants to write a play about his paternity issues, and he BSes that his mom is like, super old and conservative and she would just hate Sonia. Heh. Sonia presses further and asks if Martavio possibly has family in the south of the country, which makes him choke on his drink. He splutters that all his family lives in the north, and then he runs away. Sonia grabs Gloria and says Martavio is acting hella shady. “It’s because he’s impotent,” Gloria says. Sonia’s like, “Please, we left that plotline like ten episodes ago.” Gloria strokes Sonia’s ego and convinces her that she’s so hot, the only reason Martavio is acting weird around her is because of his penile issues. Sonia’s like, “You right, you right.”
Feli jumps Francisco in the hallway to interrogate him about Manuel and Sabrina. Francisco tells her not to worry, as Manuel is going to hook him and Sabrina up. Oh, Francisco. You are not going to win in this situation. Feli skedaddles to report to Vico, but Vico’s preoccupied with her own issues and blows her off.
Marcos tries to talk to Lujan in the cafeteria. “Do you want to sit down?” she asks. Marcos is all pleased that she’s talking to him again, but the second he takes a seat, she gets up and leaves. Ha!
Rocco follows Vico, and sees her leave school and go to a pawn shop. Vico pawns her friendship bracelet, then goes to meet her dad. She gives him the money, and he’s pleased with her, for now. He pushes her into agreeing to come over during the weekend, too, and chirps that he loves spending time with her. Rocco catches up just in time to see Vico’s dad stroke her cheek. Yeah, I don’t think he’s drawing the most wholesome conclusions here.
He catches up with her as she’s leaving and asks if that’s her boyfriend, and Vico says it is. Rocco is all hurt, and they argue — he wants to know why she let him be her fake boyfriend if she had a real one, and she snaps that it was just so that she could have an age-appropriate boyfriend to parade around at school. Then she tells him to leave her alone. Bets on whether or not he actually will?
Feli confronts Sol about stealing her date, and Sol starts crying and sniffling that she didn’t want to steal Feli’s date, but he made her, because he told her that he didn’t like Feli, and what could Sol do in such a trying situation? And he asked Sol out, and of course she had to say yes. Feli cries that she should be used to rejection by now. At least she has Sol! Oh, Feli.
Sonia’s all convinced that Martavio wants her body now, so she invites him out to lunch. Dunoff happens upon them, and he cockblocks them by saying he wants to talk to Martavio when Martavio has some free time. Desperate to get away from Sonia, Martavio’s like, “I’ll work through my lunch, how about that!”
Sonia runs into Hilda, and they’re cutely overjoyed to see one another. Sonia tells Hilda that Andres is moving out, and Hilda’s pleased to hear it. Hee.
In class, Pablo, Tomás, and Guido try to work out how much money they have to blow on homework assignments. Or you guys could just…do your schoolwork. Ha, what am I saying? That will never happen. Carmen comes in and congratulates them on their essays. They were so good, she wants them to recite their main points in front of the class! Aw, man. I bet she figured it out the second she saw that everything in Tomás’s essay was spelled right. Pablo sputters out a few sentences about how war is bad, and peace is good, and then pretends to pass out on Carmen’s desk. Always do your homework, kids!
Carmen arranges for a doctor to come see Pablo. The doctor is young and super hot, and Guido and Tomás perv all over her. It’s meant to be funny, but it’s actually really gross. This show has not aged well, in the sexual harassment regard. The hot doctor diagnoses Pablo with indigestion, and brings in a male nurse to give him an enema. Pablo’s like, “This is not the threesome I wanted!” (Tomás: “What’s an enema?”)
Dunoff tells Martavio that he needs his help spying on the fourth year class. They’re absolutely horrible — full of rebeldía and perversion! Martavio’s like, “Chill out, they can’t be that bad,” and Dunoff’s like, “One of them is a cross-dresser!” Martavio’s all like, “OMG, that’s the worst thing I’ve ever heard!” Damn! Let the dude rock a dress if he wants! Anyway, Martavio agrees to help Dunoff.
Fernanda gives Sol her friendship bracelet, and Feli notes that it’s the same one that she, Vico, and Mia have. Then Tomás runs down and says he’ll accompany Sol, and she BSes that he can’t. He’s like, “But the streets are dangerous! You could be kidnapped!” Whatever, like Tomás is going to be any help. Sol goes off, but then her ride pulls up, and it’s driven by Hot Friend. Man, doesn’t he have anything better to do?
Laura is all determined to prove that Francisco still likes her, and Marizza’s like, “I dunno, he keeps harping on about that Sabrina chick.” Laura follows Francisco to the cafeteria counter to try and get his attention, but he’s distracted by Tomás, who’s whining to Ana that he feels sick. What happened to Pablo was horrible! Who knew that hot doctors were still like, doctors? Tomás accidentally tells the entire cafeteria that Pablo had to have an enema, and Marizza naturally takes that and runs with it. OH, TOMÁS.
Mama D confronts Sonia about her relationship with Dunoff. Sonia goes on about how Dunoff and Mama D love each other, and Mama D’s like, “Eh, I don’t know, he is kind of a total fuckup.” Heh. Still, he’s Pilar’s dad, and she doesn’t want to divorce him. Sonia confesses that she was super in love with him, a long time ago, but Dunoff rejected her advances, because he was already married to Mama D. That…directly contradicts what we already know about their relationship, but whatever. Mama D buys it, and she’s all happy.
Marcos is all emo, and whines to Manuel that Lujan is being mean to him. Well, maybe you shouldn’t have been a dick to her and dumped her for some rude rich girl, Marcos. Manuel is about to tell him so, but then Sabrina rocks up. She wants to know why Manuel didn’t tell her about Mia. A fair question, but also, if Sabrina’s such an Erreway superfan, did she not notice they were dating? Whatever. Manuel’s like, “Uhhh, it slipped my mind.” Also, why does she even care? Sabrina clearly has a thing for him, but she covers and says she just wishes he had been honest with her. Then Francisco runs up and is all twitterpated by Sabrina, and Manuel’s trying to pretend that he’s not salty over the two of them, but he totally is.
Pablo’s traumatized after his enema, and vows vengeance on Carmen for letting it happen. He’s like, “Get my father, the inventor of the toaster strudel, on the phone, state!” Oh, and if Tomás and Guido could make sure nobody finds out about this ever, that would also be great. Tomás is like, “Uh…sure, can do, buddy.”
The model agent tells Sol that she didn’t get the campaign, Mia did. Wow, he called her all the way there just to tell her she doesn’t have a job? That’s harsh. Also kind of a waste of his time, no? Anyway, Sol’s not pleased at all.
Martavio sits Diego down for a tutorial in pointillism. The most masculine painting technique? I don’t know. Time for an awkward segue into homosexuality! Martavio’s like, “Well, ya know, some people think painting is gay, and speaking of gay people, are you gay, or warped sexually in some manner? You can tell me.” Diego’s like, “Not…that I know of? I’m gonna leave now, bye.” Martavio gets way too close to him and suggests that if Diego doesn’t wanna talk about being gay here, they could go get coffee or something. Awkward! Martavio: the most unintentional sex predator in the school. Diego bails out of there fast as he can, for which I do not blame him.
Diego runs into Sonia and tells her that a teacher came on to him. He doesn’t want to name names, but then Martavio comes running down the hall, asking why he left, and that makes it pretty clear. Sonia’s like, “Aw hell no.”You know, I appreciate Sonia’s vendetta and all, but for the love of God, can she use it to get Blas fired already? Anyway, she runs to tell Hilda and Gloria: “Martavio’s not impotent!” she says. “Much worse! He’s gay!”
Wow, this show has not aged well, at all.
Vico comes back to school, and Rocco is still following her. He’s decided that Vico’s been coerced into this relationship with an older man, and now he’s determined to save her. Vico is mildly touched that he doesn’t care about her reputation, but then she gets mad again that he’s so hellbent on meddling in her life. She blows him off once more and runs away. Rocco’s about to follow her some more, but he’s caught by Blas, who’s called his parents for a disciplinary meeting. Yikes.
Speaking of Blas, he’s still trying to get together his ragtag rugby team. This is still happening? Okay, sure. They’re gathered in the main hall, and then Marizza shows up, announcing that she has a “trophy” for Pablo. Whatever it is, it’s deeply disturbing: Pablo’s embarrassed, and then Papa B walks in and flips out. God, I hope Marizza didn’t save his poop or something. I feel like that would be too far even for her? But then again, I should know not to underestimate this show by now.
