Previously on Rebelde Way: Man, everyone has familial problems up in here. Marcos’s dad has come by to tell Marcos that something happened to his mom. Lujan watches them leave, and decides to follow them. Laura runs up and is like, “Lujan, please come to the party with me and protect me from Francisco’s sexual harassment,” but Lujan’s like, “No can do, there’s stalking to be done!” Then Francisco swings by and forces Laura to kiss him again, because this show has not aged well at all.
The Uruguayans bring alcohol to the party, which sets a scare chord off, like the Elite Way kids don’t hit the sauce every few episodes. They evil that they’re gonna get the Elite Way guys so drunk that they’ll be too hungover to play tomorrow. God, cheating seems like it’s a lot of work. Whatever. They fret a bit over sneaking alcohol into the club, and eventually flatter Gloria into telling the bouncer that they’re with the party planners, so they can skip the patdown.
Inside the club, they’re playing “Dirrty” by Christina Aguilera. I just started laughing so hard, you don’t even know. Manuel and Mia are making out, until Papa C calls and interrupts them. Good! Papa C, you’re doing the Lord’s work, you just don’t know it. He’s weirded out to hear that they’re at a party, and Mia clarifies that it’s a school party — Gloria and a couple of teachers are here to chaperone. That wouldn’t make me feel better at all, but whatever. Papa C is like, “Which teachers?” and he’s not at all pleased to hear that Sonia and Martavio are there together.
Lujan shows up at the hospital, and Marcos is too sad to be a douche to her, so he lets her stay. He tells her that his mom is in a coma, and Lujan’s like, “Well, plenty of people come out of comas.” Oh, Lujan. Only if they’re the main characters of telenovelas, which Marcos’s mom is very much not. The doctor comes out and tells them that Marcos’s mom had a mini-stroke or something, and it’s not likely that she’ll recover. Marcos starts crying and lets Lujan hug him. Oh, sure. He verbally abuses her for like ten episodes but now he needs her emotional support so he lets her hang around.
Back at the club, Rocco tells Sonia his suspicions about Vico’s dad. He muses that Vico refuses to ask for help because she wants to show that she’s strong. Sonia asks Rocco to keep an eye on Vico and tell her if anything happens. Does this school not have mandatory reporters? Whatever. Anyway, on the other side of the club, freaking…oh my God, I don’t even remember his name. The guy who was dating Feli for five minutes before trying to get with Sol. He shows up and tries to confess his love for Sol, again, some more. She blows him off and tells him to hang out with Feli. Sure, that’s not awkward at all.
Mama D comes to Dunoff’s office, and she’s like, “Since Pilar is out, I want to talk.” “About what?” derps Dunoff. Mama D’s like, “About divorcing, dumbass.” But Pilar hasn’t gone out, since Tomás fell for Sol’s machinations and broke their date. Instead, she tells her parents that they should have dinner together. It’ll be super fun and not weird or tense at all! Mama D’s like, “That’s the worst idea I’ve ever heard.” “But I skipped the party to be with you guys,” poor Pilar says. She wails at them that they’re upsetting her, and Mama D’s like, “Sorry, but I can’t stay married to your dad anymore.” Pilar says that Dunoff was right, and Mama D doesn’t care about them. Mama D starts yelling at Dunoff, and Dunoff starts yelling back, and Pilar runs off in tears. Poor girl.
Marizza tells Sonia that she’s grateful for Sonia raising her, but they can’t keep going like this. Sonia immediately assumes that Marizza wants to move out, and gives like a five-minute speech about how she’ll accept Marizza’s decision (she’s fifteen, Sonia!) and how parents aren’t perfect and oh, how Sonia has TRIED, but if Marizza really wants to leave her, she’ll accept it. Marizza’s like, “No, I just want you to stop hanging around my school all the time.” Sonia’s like, “Oh.” Then Belen comes in and tries to use the bathroom, and Sonia and Marizza kick her out because she’s interrupting their moment. See? Sonia is a terrible teacher. She shouldn’t be allowed to be around kids anyway.
Lola shows up at the club with her hair in white girl dreads. She’s like, “Since Pablo’s still hung up on Marizza, I’m just going to Single White Female her until he loves me!” Even Guido and Augustina think this is a terrible idea, and neither of them are exactly brain trusts. Guido is also not pleased with Augustina for telling Lola that Pablo and Marizza still have a thing for each other.
Sol gets up on stage and does a dance to a song that sounds like “I Will Survive”, but I don’t think that’s the song. She grinds up on all the Uruguayans, while Leo (whose name I just remembered) watches all emo. For some reason, Feli’s trying to distract him and cheer him up, even though he literally showed up at school one day and said he’d rather date Sol instead of her.
Pablo runs up to Guido and he’s like, “Okay, how did Lola find out about me having a thing with Marizza?” “Uh…I told Augustina,” derps Guido. “Are you an idiot?” Pablo asks. Are you new, Pablo? Then the rival rugby team rocks up and mocks Pablo, Tomás, and Guido for drinking juice instead of alcohol. They’re like, “Why don’t you have some of our illicit booze instead!” For once, Pablo is not super into the idea of illicit drinking, as they need clear heads for the game tomorrow. But then a bunch of random hot girls walk in and greet the Uruguayans, and the boys decide that they have to drink to impress them. What? Where did these girls even come from? How did the Uruguayan rugby team meet them? THEY DON’T EVEN LIVE IN THIS COUNTRY! Oh, wait, the girls are from Uruguay too. Wait, so they crossed a national border just to see the stupid rugby boys? I don’t even leave my city unless I really have to.
Rocco finds Vico and they start arguing over him following her and interfering in her life, as usual. Vico snaps that if he’s going to keep being weird and stalky, she’s leaving, but then Martavio stops her at the exit. He’s all, “You can’t leave!” which is weird because…what, students HAVE to stay at a party? I would hate going to this school. Then, weirdly, Tato also shows up and says he wants to explain to Vico why he literally ran away from her at the park. What? Too late, Tato! It’s been like ten episodes! And then frickin’ Martavio justs lets Tato drag Vico out of the club. Again: and he thinks he can handle a teenage daughter?
Sonia rocks up to Martavio and says that she’s come to a decision, re: Marizza. Oh my God, she says this all the time, ands the decision is never to tell Marizza that Martavio is her dad. Before she can say what misleading decision she’s going to make this time, Papa C shows up at the club. He’s all mad that this is supposed to be a school party (as Mia told him), and instead it’s at a nightclub. What? Like all these kids do is party at nightclubs. Why is he surprised?
The Uruguayan girls hit on Guido and Tomás, then presumably come to their senses and blow them off. Then Augustina and Lola rock up, and poor dumb Augustina still doesn’t cotton on that Guido is trying his hardest to cheat on her. Lola asks after Pablo, and Tomás tries to cover for him, but Guido’s like, “No, you know what? We should tell her the truth.” Tomás: “Uh…I have to go to the bathroom.” Hee. He’s such a cowardly custard.
Blah blah everyone dances blah. Paloma randomly shows up and starts macking on Diego. He’s like, “Dude, not in front of my other girlfriend!” Just kidding. He runs off to lie to Marizza that his clingy cousin is back, and he just has to get rid of her because he definitely doesn’t want to hang out with her. Then he runs back to Paloma and says that the girl who’s hanging all over him is Marizza, and she’s like, obsessed with him or something, but they’re definitely not going out. Fuck Diego, man! I don’t know how he want to zero to douche so fast.
Meanwhile, Laura’s freaking out because Francisco is stalking her and sexually harassing her. Nobody takes it seriously at all. This show has aged so badly! So badly!
Guido pulls Augustina and Lola to the side and proceeds to yell at them that it’s their fault that Pablo left — because Augustina repeated the gossip that Guido told her, so now Pablo never wants to see Lola again and it’s all Augustina’s fault because she’s such a gossip. Fucking Guido! That’s supposed to be your girlfriend! Dump him, Augustina! You can do better! Instead, Guido dumps her, and the girls leave so Guido and Pablo can hook up with the rando Uruguayans with impunity. Because they are the worst.
Tato feeds Vico some BS story about how he just had to go grab his ID, and he was totally coming back to see Vico. She’s like, “Okay, and where were you when I got hauled to the police station?” He’s like, “Oh…yeah, but I felt real bad about that.” He asks her for another chance, and she gives it to him. God, every time I think this show’s depiction of adolescent romance can’t get more depressing, it does. I mean, I guess it’s also painfully accurate, but still. Tato talks Vico into going to party with some of his friends instead of going back to the club. Oh, this will end well.
Papa C wanders around the couches where all the kids are making out, asking if anyone’s seen Mia. Hee. Sonia runs up and is like, “Stop cockblocking the teenagers!” She drags him off, and they run into Rocco. He’s like, “I lost Vico!” and Sonia’s like, “That’s bad” and they freak out for like five seconds while Papa C watches confusedly. Hee. Rocco leaves, and Papa C and Sonia argue about whether or not she’s dating Martavio and if they’re broken up or what. They don’t really resolve it, which is annoying, because I’m wondering what the hell is going on, too. Explain it to me, guys! Anyway, Papa C admits that he’s jealous over Martavio and Sonia. Sonia thinks that’s cute, and they make out in the coat check room. HEE! They knock a piece of paper out of one of the coats, and Papa C’s like, “This is a rugby play!” One of the Uruguayan guys comes to pick up his coat, which was the one with the paper in it. Sonia and Papa C were all, “OMG, why does he have a suspicious rugby plan that will destroy Elite Way?” How do they even know — oh my God, whatever. They’re making a lot of leaps of logic here, I gotta say. Papa C runs into Francisco and tells him about it.
Over at the hospital, Marcos thanks Lujan for putting up with him (literally, hee), and they smile all goofily at each other. Aw. Marcos’s dad tells him that they’re going to put his mom in another clinic, but she’s not dead or anything, so that’s chill. The catch is that the clinic is in northern Argentina, so Marcos and his dad will have to move up there to be with her. Uh…why, though? Marcos already has a place to live when he’s in school. Seriously, why do none of these parents seem to get the point of boarding school?
Pilar finally makes it to the party, and she makes a beeline for Tomás. He blows her off and starts macking on one of the rando Uruguayan girls. Poor Pilar.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Sol and Fernanda are gushing over how they’re going to make the rugby guys theirs, or something equally boring. Feli runs in and tells Sol that she danced almost all the songs with Leo, trying to keep him occupied while Sol fucked off to wherever the hell. LOVE YOURSELF, FELI!!! AAAH. Oh, and now Sol’s going to hook up with some Uruguayans, so if Feli could just distract Leo again, that would be great. For some reason, Feli does it. Leo asks her to dance with him, and he kisses her. Get out of here, Leo! You literally dumped her for Sol without a word of warning! He’s like, “Yeah, I figured Sol doesn’t really like me, and you’re here, so…” Poor dumb Feli thinks that’s sweet.
Rocco runs up to Martavio and tells him that Vico is gone. Martavio’s like, “Oh, she’s fine, she just ran off with this sketchy guy who doesn’t go to this school.” Rocco’s like, “Did you ever consider that you shouldn’t have like…let her leave?” He freaks out that Tato will hurt her, and — wait, has Rocco thought that Tato was the one abusing Vico this whole time? But then why did he freak out over Mia going to her house — OH MY GOD, WHATEVER.
Tomás and Guido ask the rival rugby team to give them some booze so that they can impress the Uruguayan girls. The rugby guys agree, on the condition that they have a drink with them first. Tomás and Guido get predictably smashed.
Augustina and Lola are all emo over the loss of Guido and Pablo, respectively. That’s just sad. Be free, you two! Especially you, Augustina! They happen to be on the other side of a wall or closet or something from where Diego’s trying to gaslight Paloma, and they witness Diego and Paloma making out. Lola and Augustina are somehow shocked that the guys in this school are cheaters.
Feli gushes to Mia that Leo kissed her, and calls him the boy of her dreams. Is she forgetting that he dumped her literally the second he found out Sol was available? COME ON, FELI. Mia encourages her in this madness, for some reason.
Gloria’s trying to make conversation with the rugby coach about how she once went to Colonia, Uruguay, and it was super like…colonial. Oh, Gloria. He’s distracted by something that we don’t get to see (his team giving alcohol to the Elite Way guys? I don’t know), and Gloria pouts that he’s not paying attention to her. He’s like, “Of course I’m paying attention, my beautiful hibiscus!” and Gloria gets all twitterpated that he’s calling her nice names. Then Sonia runs up and pulls Gloria off to the side. “Gloria, what did you give him?!” she asks. “What kind of woman do you think I am?” Gloria wails. Hee. She admits to giving the rugby coach some details about Elite Way’s game plan, and Sonia tells her about finding the paper. Gloria’s all, “OMG, was I just being used as a pawn in a high school rugby game?”
Francisco runs over to Manuel and tells him that the Uruguayans have a copy of their game strategy. “We have a strategy?” derps Manuel. They go to get Tomás and Guido, who are completely hammered. Manuel and Francisco figure out that the Uruguayans have been plying Tomás and Guido with booze, while they’ve been drinking juice and water. They jump the Uruguayans, and everyone starts fighting.
