Well, I may have missed the reference to Kate being trans in an earlier episode (in my defence, beyond being vaguely sympathetic to her situation, I was paying very little attention to her since teen angst does nothing for me these days) but it was right up front and centre in this episode, as the ramifications of going on the run so abruptly continue to reverberate.

Gala was being so careful in this episode not to allow her location to leak back to anyone from her old life, coaching Amat through his phone call to her wine expert friend without letting it be known she was with him - but she hasn't emphasised the danger enough to her daughter, and as a result Kate's desire to maintain contact with her girlfriend is the reason The Goons now know where the women are.

Gala is her own worst enemy in many ways. So abrasive and confrontational with the women of the cooperative, just barging in and telling them they are going about their business wrong instead of taking a subtler, more collaborative approach. She doesn't even try to get people on side. She just declares what she wants and expects everyone to fall in line. So far, Amat is the only person in La Muga who has seen her softer side. They have great chemistry - but if Amat is involved with Montse, what is he doing getting to close to Gala?

Curious now to know more about Amat's backstory. He told Gala he doesn't have a family, but we've seen that photo of him with a little boy and it is clear that something sent him off into the countryside five years ago. He washed up in La Muga fairly randomly, but where was he before? What happened to make him upend his life and start afresh? He paid cash for the house - where did that money come from? He seems absolutely lovely, but he had no compunctions about stealing Gala's money when he found it stashed in his house, so who is he really?

There are six episodes, yes? So we are halfway through now and with The Goons having landed in La Muga now, things are clearly about to heat up.

Am glad we’re no longer seeing Gala running around the small town in her high heels.

They make Fred a walking cliché - embezzling money and cheating on his wife.

Am still not warming up to Julia. The character/actress has rubbed me the wrong way. It’s very unkind of Julia to blackmail Andreu on overdue child support, assuming he is Gala’s bio dad. It’s good that Mariona puts Julia back in her place. That face slap is a bonus.

Poor Kate has to deal with a town doctor who doesn’t respect the doctor/patient confidentiality. Xavi is truly a sh!tty GP. 👎🏻

Gala needs an attitude change if she wants the women of La Muga on her side. Sophisticated wine palate isn’t enough.

Gala should really be more honest with Kate about their situation, even if she doesn't want to tell her everything. Kate isn't being very careful about her location because she has no idea that she's actually in danger. 

This show really makes me want to take a wine tasting tour.
