8/10
A 10-star show marred by two big mistakes

Warning: Spoilers
I would really like to give this episode a 10, as it contains the best moments in the series.

However: Àlex continues to be a one-dimensional, vapid, egomaniacal, repulsive meat puppet; Bruno still harbours some feelings for him, but I fail to understand how someone of his intelligence and good looks falls for this air-headed twink. Must be great in bed. Yawn.

Along the way, they are oblivious to family, friends and other lovers whose lives are impacted, harmed, or even ruined by this hapless fling. Among other things, Àlex leaves his temporary replacement boyfriend, Ibra, stranded alone on a flight to Africa, which was a vacation gift from Ibra to Àlex.

Do you see Bruno and Àlex building a life together? I give it about two weeks.

The most appealing characters for me throughout the entire series are Ramon (watch Ramon Pujol in the queer film "Fin de siglo") and Albert, whose big scene in this episode is the single best moment in the series.

There are superb, emotional scenes for Vero and Patricia, and Javier and Ramiro, and throughout the ensemble.

But the two lead characters are such jerks it shows how their pathetic bedroom adventure should be relegated to lesser import in the overall scheme of things.
