Isn’t it possible that the writers actually wrote that couch scene at Camilo in such way and Maca was doing everything accordingly? I know she’s known for her tendency to improvise but perhaps we need to give the writers some credit too (unless of course there’s news somewhere that that scene really was all Maca’s improvisation). But either way, we so deserve them but we so don’t, we’re not ready. You know what I’m saying?

Oh, I absolutely do think the writers wrote in something. I could be wrong and whichever way it happened, full kudos to Maca because she executed it perfectly and to the editors and directors as well, but when you think about what actual new information was conveyed in that whole almost minute of staring, was there anything? They didn’t need to pad it out with all that, to be frank, mumbo jumbo. The point of that last bit was Val’s staring at Juls, flat out. 

So apart that Val is a gay mess; others reasons why she could stop looking at juliana? She snuggles and remember Juls scene; which she loves. Juliana snuggles back; after they broke up is a big deal. Juliana is very polite to Camilo even if she didn’t believe her; and Val’s love that. Of course is because she is completely smitten but ok let me have this.

And another anon:

It was the head on her shoulder. Look she was trying to pay attention but since she put her head there she couldn’t stop looking at juliana. Even she kissed her own hand. Poor Val she is so smitten it hurts(in a good way).

Look, you can’t solve this level of gayness with your newfangled science and theories and the hows and the whys. It happened, all we can do is accept that the thirst of Valentina Carvajal is beyond our reckoning. 

i cant with these two thirsty asses, ignoring that the damn couch which could fit a whole family and just practically sitting on top of each other !! juls sliding closer to val on the couch and by the end val-what the heck is subtle-tina practially eye fucking juls !!! this show ugh i cant i thought we would get post break angst, misunderstanding but instead we are getting representation reserved for heteronormative story lines !!

Do even hets get this??

I was literally telling Val to chill through the screen.

i’m so torn with sergio. i want to like him cause i think he’s just a dumbass who’s a good person deep down but like he keeps doing the dumbest shit. like he cannot keep his mouth shut. first he tells nayeli about val and juls then lucho abt their breakup?? wtf dude

And another anon (from a week ago):

so do we hate sergio anymore? i’m torn… ? 

And another anon (from before even that):

sergio is .01% better than lucho but only because he’s not actually violent

I don’t really think he’s anything deep down, I think he’s just a normal, easily swayed dude. He couldn’t have stood up against the homophobia when it was happening? If he felt strongly enough about it to bring it up now, I mean. It’s one thing if he didn’t have a stance either way and grew and learned from it, but he did apparently think it was wrong, but didn’t say anything then.

I liked that he let Val know he supported her but other than that, the “good” things he does are so minor and usually after allowing something much worse to happen first. And I can’t forget his attitude when he found out Juls sold lottery tickets on the street and only started liking her again when she wore that dress. It feels like he’s set up in direct opposition to Val who didn’t care at all about the tickets and whose reaction to the dress only reinforced existing feelings, not changing them completely. Juls didn’t need to look or be different for Val to fall.
