Anything Goes
In episode 2 of Elite Season 5, Rebe is in the interview room with the inspector. It’s a brief scene, but she claims that Samu didn’t actually murder anyone. Is that true? We’ll have to wait and see.
The kids are unhappy with the way Benjamin is running their school. The rules in school are very strict, but it’s also been revealed that Benjamin is tracking them with geolocation on the school’s app, allowing the school to check up on where they are at any time. They argue this is an invasion of their privacy (which it 100% is), but Benjamin bites back, challenging them with lower exam scores if they continue to be unhappy. ..
Patrick is at the forefront of this rebellion and decides to throw a big party. Two people that aren’t in this meeting though are Cayetana and Phillipe. The former convinces him to go and see Greta, the school’s councillor. While there, she tries to help talk them through their problems. As part of their session, Greta bans Phillipe from drinking alcohol and even calls him a predator too.
Ari and Samu are a couple who are having some difficulties. The latter still feels guilty and protective over her, but the two eventually make love in the locker room. Naturally, Benjamin happens to be watching from his office and walks in on them both, demanding they come to his office separately. ..
It’s tense because Samu is in a difficult position, given his place at school is in the balance.
Omar takes pity on Bilal, a man who shows up at the restaurant looking for some food. He promises he’s not looking for trouble but does need a job. Omar decides to offer him a lifeline; a job washing dishes. Unfortunately, Bilal betrays Omar’s trust. When he tries leaving with the tip jar, Omar stops him and demands he get out, ignoring his pleas about gangsters coming after him.
The big party goes ahead as planned. Patrick manages to convince Ivan to show up too, and they all have a good time. Naturally, Benjamin sends a video message taunting Ivan while Mencia stays at home and studies.
There’s further drama on the dancefloor though, as Rebe and Ivan end up kissing. A video of this is sent to Mencia, encouraging her to show up, while Patrick convinces Ari to take drugs. When he notices Rebe and Ivan kissing, he’s crushed. ..
Patrick confronts Ivan about his sexuality and how he’s hiding his true feelings. Patrick believes Ivan is scared but when Ivan heads onto the dancefloor, he begins kissing Samu, playing mind-games with Patrick. Patrick is confused as to why Ivan would kiss another man and starts to feel threatened. ..
That night, Bilal shows up at Omar’s restaurant again, begging for another chance. At the same time, Isadora continues to wrap Phillipe around her finger, convincing him that he should forget Caye and turn to her instead.
As the episode ends, we cut back in time to find Samu dragging a body. With the inspector, Rebe continues to cover for Samu.
The Episode Review
Elite continues to cling to the thin shred of a mystery, but it doesn’t feel like anywhere near enough to prop up this show above mediocrity. ..
Season 5 of “Game of Thrones” doesn’t have the same level of gravitas and depth as previous seasons. The new characters don’t quite fit into the same vibe as the previous ensemble. ..
Elite: Dangerous has been struggling in recent seasons, with many players questioning the legitimacy of the game’s “mystery.” However, there is still enough intrigue to keep players engaged for now. Elite may need to up its game in order to compete with other space sims. ..
