Nick tells Jorge about what the fortune teller told him, in addition to his feelings for Lily. Anna overhears their conversation, and they break up.

The Episode Review

As usual, the episode is mostly entertaining, and it’s heartwarming to see Jorge and Henry work through their problems in a healthy manner. The love triangle between Lily, Santiago, and Nick on the other hand, is cliched and tedious to watch.

The show went overboard with Sol’s character too. Sol expressed her disappointment with Miles’ refusal to be called Queer because he does not consider himself to be Queer. People would definitely object if the situation were reversed. Moreover, Sol made it about them when it should have been about him, which is extremely disappointing given how good their storyline had been up until this point.
