This show struggles to define the characterization of Hank and Kevin. They don’t seem to act like professional hitmen. Can Tony trust them?

Julia and Mariona have reconciled, finally! The arc about Julia’s incoherent memory is a bit all over the place. Is she taking her meds?

Maggie has finally shown her true color. It’s time to move on, Kate.

It’s kind of far fetched seeing how Kate’s drawings easily win the heart of the women of La Muga. Stubbornness be gone. But they have been arguing for the past 5 episodes, am just glad it’s over now.

Fred shows up at Amat’s house out of the blue, interrupting Gala/Amat’s tender moment. Dammit. 😣

One more episode to go…

There is a limit to how much meds can help someone with dementia, and enough of my family members have had dementia that Julia rings true to me. Present one minute, in another time entirely the next. Capable of dwelling in two entirely different times simultaneously. My great-aunt, who was the oldest daughter in a family of 10, used to get really anxious about having to be home in time to meet her little brothers from school. She was in a nursing home, at the very end of her life, but that was her biggest concern, that was the reality she lived in. Yet if you asked her how old she was, she would look at you gone off and say, "I'm 95, of course." That was her reality. She was both 95 years old and a teenager responsible for her little brothers, simultaneously. Julia in this episode reminded me of her a lot.

Speaking of meds, though, I wondered in this episode if Kate has managed to turn her prescription into hormones yet. She was running out, last we heard, but Hank and Kevin arrived just as she got home with her prescription.

Agreed that Kate needs to move on from Maggie. With that nice mechanic, perhaps...

I'm trying to figure out where the show is going with the Gala-Amat-Montse thing. Amat seems really lovely (I always enjoy Santiago Cabrera) but I'm not entirely comfortable seeing him get so close to Gala while still involved with Montse, no matter how much they claim to be nothing more than friends with benefits. And I couldn't figure out what he was doing at the end there, with the torch, deliberately shining it at Gala and setting it up to create a silhouette of them (about to kiss?) on the wall behind for no apparent reason.

I understand Gala's desperation to save her family's lives, but promising Tony all the money the wine can make when she doesn't actually own any of it is not going to improve her popularity with the townsfolk!

And now Fred has arrived for the final complication.

Only one episode left. How are they going to wrap up all these loose ends? Can't wait to find out.
