We pick up where we left off: Sol is trying to expose Javier, but Mia and Marizza don’t believe her. After all, there’s no way Javier, a dude they’ve known for less than 72 hours, could possibly be a bad person! Sol tries to storm out, but they snap that she’s not going anywhere until she gives their money back. Sol BSes that she has it in their room, and Mia drags her off to go look for it. Left alone with Javier, Marizza reassures him that she believes him. MARIZZA, YOU ARE MAKING IT VERY DIFFICULT TO LIKE YOU.
Feli and Leo talk out their issues at some cafe, and by “talk out” I mean “Feli confronts him with all the evidence of his fuckboy-ness, and Leo makes excuses until she gives in and makes out with him.” Her low self-esteem kicks in, though, and she keeps imagining Sol laughing at her. Feli runs away from Leo. Whatever, I can’t say I blame her.
Pilar and Tomás come back from…somewhere…and tell Pablo that they haven’t found Javier. Okay, but did you guys even look? They were probably making out in a closet somewhere. Pablo groans that he’s going to kill Javier. And then Papa B and Ines walk in, looking for Javier. Luckily, Javier walks in two seconds later with Mia and Marizza, and Marizza covers by saying that they went for a walk together. Papa B is mad that Pablo hasn’t been sticking to Javier like glue. What? He’s sixteen years old. He doesn’t need a keeper. Pablo points this out, and Ines reasonably says that if the boys don’t get along, they don’t have to spend every waking minute together. Papa B insists that Javier likes Pablo and Pablo’s just being a dick to him.
Despite the fact that he got off scot-free, Javier keeps bringing up how Sol accused him of being a liar. I’m guessing that hearing Marizza say that she believes him gives him some weird sociopath boner. Marizza reassures him once again that she would never believe Sol, a girl she’s at least known for several months, over him, a rando who tried to grope her upon their first meeting a week ago. Javier fantasizes about making out with her, but thankfully doesn’t act on it.
Sol goes looking for Dunoff, but Blas tells her that he’s gone and won’t be back until tomorrow. He asks if there’s something he needs help with, and sounds pretty genuinely concerned. For her part, Sol looks genuinely upset, but she walks out without tattling.
Manuel tells Mia that he talked to Papa C and found out that Papa C is in looove. Mia is all horrified that Papa C might be dating someone ugly, and resolves to find out who it is. Then Marizza walks by and asks where Sol is, and Mia’s like, “IDK, I just let her run off to find the money.” Heh. These two are the worst kidnappers ever. Then they see Pablo, and Manuel figures it’s a good time to call an impromptu Erreway meeting. He tells them that Papa B is interfering, again, and I don’t know if he’s referring to when Papa B met the record label guy and was all, “Rock music is evil!” at the rugby match, or if they’re referring to some other event that they didn’t bother to show us. Whatever. Anyway, now they can’t play because the label is afraid of pissing off the mayor. Or governor. Whatever the hell Papa B’s job is. Marizza snipes that Pablo should put on his big boy pants and talk to his dad.
Feli is in Mia’s room, eating her feelings and imagining Sol calling her fat some more. Mia and Marizza come in, asking where Sol is, and Feli shrugs that she hasn’t seen her. Mia and Marizza panic that Sol could be anywhere. This school is not that big, you guys. Then Belen comes in and snipes at them that Sol is hiding out in her room, because Marizza and Mia scarred her so badly. Mia and Marizza are like, “Whatever, we only left her with a guy we met a few days ago, I bet nothing bad happened!” Then Mia wonders aloud where Vico is.
Vico is waiting outside of the school, and Rocco runs across her, as usual. He needles her about hanging around suspiciously, and she tells him to back off. Then Tato shows up, and he gives her some cassettes and…a CD player? These things don’t go together, Tato. Vico promises to pay him back once she has the money and starts to leave. Tato says, “You’re not even gonna say ‘thank you’?” Vico: “I said thank you.” Tato: “I didn’t mean that kind of thanks.” OH, GROSS. He grabs her and kisses her, and then Rocco turns on a sprinkler and hoses them down.
Papa C and Sonia are making out at some restaurant. They wax on some more about how into each other they are, but they know their daughters will never accept their relationship. I mean, at least Sonia’s not ugly, so Mia will probably be cool with it. Just then, Mia calls wanting to know about Papa C’s new girlfriend, and Papa C makes up some woman named Monica who definitely doesn’t have an obnoxious daughter.
Meanwhile, Javier’s settling into bed for a nice night of relaxing and reading Marizza’s diary. Ick! I guess her diary is describing making out with Pablo, because Javier visualizes them kissing and vows to make Marizza forget about Pablo.
The next day, Dunoff rants to Gloria about how annoying the fourth years are, and how much he can’t wait for them to graduate. Gloria shrugs that, in the case of the tournament, she thinks the kids have a point. That just sets Dunoff on another rant about how Martavio enabled them, with the help of Papa C and Sonia. He wants to get rid of Martavio, and also Marizza and Mia, as that will keep their parents from interfering. Just as he says that, Sol waltzes in and says that she has something terrible to report about Marizza and Mia. What timing!
Feli tells Mia and Vico about her failed date with Leo, and both of them side with Leo, for some reason. He’s a jerk, you guys! At the very best, he’s weak-willed and indecisive and will drop Feli as soon as some other girl shows interest in him. Feli tries to chang the subject, and asks where Vico was this afternoon. Vico’s like, “We are definitely not talking about that.” Then Marizza sticks her head in the room and asks if Sol’s returned the money yet. Vico’s like, “Say what?” and the girls tell her that Sol copped to stealing the money. Vico’s all, “No puede ser!” but then Gloria interrupts before the girls can ask exactly what Vico means. She tells Marizza and Mia that Sol’s accused them and that they’re wanted in the office immediately.
Meanwhile, over in Manuel’s room, he’s freaking out over a bad dream. Francisco has to give him water and rub his back because Manuel is a fucking baby. Manuel whines that he had a nightmare that every time he was about to have sex with Mia, he couldn’t get it up. WHY does this show keep trying to make me care about Manuel’s dick? Manuel says that he won’t be able to be with Mia until he tells her the truth. Francisco’s like, “What are you, dumb?” Then Marcos comes in and asks what’s going on, and Francisco gets all pissy with him. Marcos gets pissy right back, and Manuel’s like, “What’s going on with you two?” Francisco’s all, “Marcos wouldn’t let me sexually harass one of our classmates 🙁 What a cuck :(” Just kidding, but would you be surprised?
Marizza and Mia deny any wrongdoing to Dunoff, but he’s all ready to get his punishment on anyway. Good! They deserve it for trusting Javier and his douchey ponytail! He sends them off to think about what they’ve done.
Then Martavio comes in, and Dunoff tells him that he expects Martavio’s bestie, the famous art teacher Ricardo Etchamendi, to come give a lecture today. Fuck the other teachers and their lesson plans for the day, I guess. Ha, who am I kidding? This school has no other teachers.
Meanwhile, Vico’s trying to sell Tato’s stolen goods to other kids around school. Rocco pulls one of her customers aside and wants to know what she’s up to. The kid buys the CD player and tapes off of Vico, and then turns around and reports to Rocco. Vico’s told him that she can get whatever he wants, and Rocco muses that they have to figure out where she’s getting this stuff from.
Marizza drags Mia into the classroom by her hair, all mad that Mia almost sold them out to Dunoff. She says that they need to get their stories straight — they need to cover up, cover up, and cover up some more. “What are you guys up to?” Feli asks. “Covering up,” they say in unison. Mia’s like, “See? We got this.” Heh. She’s so cute. A terrible judge of character, but cute. Mia recalls that Leo told Feli that he took some photos of Sol, so Feli just has to find them, and that will absolve Mia and Marizza…somehow. Feli’s like, “Aw hell no,” and storms out.
Guido is being remarkably chill about meeting Augustina’s family. Pablo and Tomás are like, “This probably isn’t gonna end well for you,” and Guido’s like, “Impossible!” Then he opens up his locker and realizes that all his stuff is gone. Well, this seems like a bad thing. But first, they have to help Martavio, a grown-ass adult, with his problems.
Sabrina calls Manuel and tells him that she needs to see him, and it’s important. Then Mia rolls up and wants to know who he’s talking to, and he quickly BSes that it’s a friend from Mexico and hangs up. Mia believes this, for some reason. Mia, Manuel doesn’t even remember his MOM back in Mexico. His friends there are dead to him. Anyway, Mia rants about having to meet her dad’s new girlfriend, and Manuel’s like, “No, no, you should definitely go do that. Tonight, even! You should definitely do that tonight, without me!”
All the kids meet up and discuss how they’re going to save Martavio’s ass. Pablo’s got a bunch of art books from the library, and they’re going to just…cram until they can BS a script? I have no idea. Class starts, and they all shuffle in. Diego’s left a big bouquet of flowers on Marizza’s desk to try and win her back, but Marizza’s all Team Sociopathic Stepbrother now, and she throws the flowers in the trash. Throw your taste in men in there too, Marizza.
Augustina’s left another gift for Guido on his desk. It’s a binder with a bunch of pictures of her taped inside, and she’s also stuck some feathers in it to jazz it up a little. For some reason, everyone acts like this is the biggest affront to Guido’s masculinity ever, and they all make fun of him for…owning a binder with two feathers in it. They’re not even glued in! These kids confuse me. Anyway, then Hilda comes in and starts class, and all the kids start taking notes out of the art books instead. They do this under the table, for some reason. You guys, she can’t see what you’re writing from the front of the room!
Meanwhile, Sabrina’s hanging out with one of her friends. Her friend is trying to talk her down from the whole Manuel thing, but Sabrina’s more convinced than ever that they’re in love: Manuel lied to his girlfriend about her! Clearly he’s going to leave Mia for her! Sabrina’s friend is like, “Ooookay.” Heh. I don’t know who this girl is, but I like her. She asks if Sabrina’s going to tell the band what Sabrina’s father decided, and Sabrina muses that she won’t do it yet, because she wants to spend more time with Manuel. Her friend points out that Sabrina is acting a little psycho, and Sabrina snaps that she’s in love, and she’ll do ANYTHING to fight for her love. ALL THIS OVER MANUEL. I SWEAR TO GOD.
Sol walks by the classroom and sees Mia and Marizza yukking it up together. She muses that they shouldn’t be so happy, and calls her dad to ask him to come to the school.
Javier is at some skate park — dude, it’s a school day! — and his friend warns him not to skate so recklessly. No, Javier’s Friend! Let him wipe out! Maybe he’ll break his face and I won’t have to watch him anymore. Speaking of friends who are freaking each other out, Javier tells his friend that he’s going to cut school to stalk Marizza some more. His friend is like, “Dude, you’ve met her like twice and she broke both of our skateboards,” but Javier insists that he wants to be with her, ergo he must do everything in his power to invade her personal space and follow her around. Then, because I guess this skate park is on their school campus or something, some other kid rocks up and tells Javier that he’s in trouble, because the school called his mom and told her that he cut his last class. Suffer, Javier!
After class, all the kids turn their art notes in to Marizza. Diego’s done two pages in an attempt to win her back, but she blows him off. She gives the papers to Martavio, and he’s all, “OMG, I’m so glad these teenagers are coming together to save my ass even though I’m a grown-ass man and should be able to deal with my own problems.”
Guido tells Tomás that he is definitely, 100% breaking up with Augustina for the crime of putting a couple of feathers in his binder. Just take them out, Guido! Then Augustina comes in and tells Guido that she hopes he has a license, because her dad — the fancy car company guy, you’ll recall — is giving them a car for when they go out. Guido’s like, “I loved the binders!”
Leo shows up, wanting to know where Feli is. Mia and Marizza are like, “Not important! Can we have your photos of Sol?” He’s like, “Uh…why?” and before they can convince him to fork the photos over, Lujan runs up and drags them off to class.
Martavio’s managed to find someone to play the part of Art Teacher Etchamendi, and the crack actor that he’s found is…his cousinfriend the hairdresser. Oh, this will end well. Dunoff comes in, and Martavio’s friend — whose name he actually mentioned, but I wasn’t paying attention to — says that today he’ll be discussing cubism. He gets this off of a sign that Guido is holding up, except Guido’s dumbass has written “Cubanism” and Martavio’s friend repeats it. He manages to cover, and all the kids start offering up information. Even Tomás. This should tip Dunoff off, but it doesn’t. After the lesson is done, Dunoff is pretty much hoodwinked. He asks to see Martavio’s friend’s ID, but apparently the kids have even thought of that, and somehow got a fake ID made on short notice. Dunoff’s been recording the lesson, and puts the tape in the trash to prove his goodwill.
Martavio tells the guys that they did so well planning this whole art teacher thing, they should use their powers for good and figure out a way to keep playing rugby. All the guys are like, “Dude, we don’t actually care about rugby,” but Martavio guilt trips them into it. Manuel blows them off, though, because he has somewhere to be. Pablo’s like, “Since when?” and Manuel admits that he’s going to see Sabrina. Pablo frets that she wants to meet with him to discuss Pablo’s dad being a dick, but he agrees to cover for Manuel. Then Guido rocks up and tells him that he’s found out that Diego cheated on Marizza. Pablo is greatly pleased by this news. Pablo, you are making it very hard to like you right now.
Gloria tells Feli that Leo is in the hall asking after her. Feli gets all twitterpated and runs down to see him, but Leo is all salty for…whatever reason, I can’t keep up with whether these two are fighting or not anymore. Feli apologizes for ditching him the other day, but he just snipes that he brought the proof she asked for and walks off. Feli has no idea what he’s talking about.
Martavio asks Marizza if she’s told any of her classmates about him not actually being a teacher named Octavio, and Marizza’s like, “Pfft, no, why would I do that? It’s not like all the available evidence points to you being a serial killer or something.” They then have a friendly chat and stumble on the topic of Marizza’s dad. Before they can get too far, though, Mia runs in and tells Marizza that Sol’s dad is here.
Lujan finds Blas rifling through her locker, and she’s rightfully like, “What the hell?” Blas snaps that he can go through her things whenever he feels like it, because this school has no appropriate boundaries between teachers and students. She accuses him of going into her room and sniffing Marizza’s underwear, which Blas denies. Lujan snipes that she’ll find him out sooner or later, and her next story might be about him.
Mia and Marizza run into the office, freaking out that Sol’s dad is going to get them in trouble. Then Feli storms in and slams the photos down, all pissed off. Mia and Marizza HILARIOUSLY fail to read the room, and shriek that they’re saved. They drag Feli into the office as their witness, and hand the photos over to Sol’s dad, saying that the photos were taken when Sol was supposedly kidnapped. Dunoff and Sol’s dad are like, “Oh, well, case closed, Sol’s lying.” What? What the hell kind of proof is that? Those photos could’ve been taken at literally any time. Everyone in this school is so stupid.
Rocco’s informant asks Vico to get him a DVD player or something, and she says it’s too big to bring into the school. She gives him an address to go to instead, and the guy turns around and gives it to Rocco.
Lujan tells Marizza that she doesn’t think Blas is the one who was in their room — he looked too surprised when she accused him to be faking. It FINALLY occurs to Marizza to check for her diary, and she realizes that it’s gone.
Manuel goes to meet with Sabrina, and she tells him that her period’s late. HA! Suffer, Manuel!
