Anxiety
Elite Season 6 Episode 1: Ivan is struck by a car and the driver stops to take a look. ..
Meanwhile, Ari heads into prison to see her father, Benjamin, who’s still trying to explain his actions from last year. He’s desperate to get out and part of that includes the kids heading back to school and acting like everything is okay. “Assert yourself Ari,” He says, going on to mention how the lawyers have orders to cut her off for good if she doesn’t get back to normality.
The new headmaster, Virginia, has instituted a more welcoming atmosphere at Las Encinas. This change is especially evident in the relationship between Ivan and Patrick, who are now allowed to openly kiss in the hallways. ..
Ari contemplates whether she’s romantically interested in Nico, while Isa’s new club (Isadora House) is about to have a grand opening. Naturally, flyers are handed out around her friends for the big party. Isa is done being on her own and she wants to try and move forward after the awful assault that occurred last season.
As the party gets underway, the place is abuzz with people, while Isa sets up a big announcement on the impressive projector screens to announce her own arrival, along with several other celebs including Cruz.
As Sara gets on the decks to begin DJing, she and Mencia have another frosty encounter. The latter is introduced to Raul, who admits that he knows she has eyes for his girlfriend. When Sara leaves, Raul points out that he knows she is very pretty. ..
Isa goes into the bathroom to get some air after being kissed at the DJ booth, and Ivan follows her. Her mother bursts in and offers her pills to make her “a brand new woman in no time.” ..
Ari encourages Nico to get “plenty of practice” being a heterosexual man, but he takes offence to her attitude and calls her a transphobe monster, watching as she leaves the club. ..
Last year, Isa’s mother decided to skip town and head back to Ibiza. She can’t even stay for one more night with her daughter, as Isa tries to connect, her mother tells her to change the energy. Mother of the year right here, folks. Isa ends up hyperventilating, struggling with her anxiety, and eventually relapses, back to taking pills again.
Meanwhile, Raul encourages Mencia to head back over to their place, but when he shows up in his boisterous state, Sara isn’t exactly happy. Back at the party, it wouldn’t be a crazy night without Ivan’s dad taking too many drugs, and making a big scene. Things between Cruz and Ivan are still on rocky ground and it’s made worse by Patrick trying to talk to Cruz after. ..
In his drunken state, Cruz makes a move on Patrick, telling the boy they had chemistry together and attempting to kiss him. Just before he does, Ivan comes back into the room and sees the pair together. The ol’ misunderstanding trope rears its head and eventually Ivan leaves, unhappy with what’s happened.
Isadora is found overdosed on the floor, so Bilal thinks quickly and dumps her in an icy bath to wake her up. She’s not exactly grateful, telling the hired help not to say a word to anyone and to clear up the mess she’s left behind. When Bilal is ushered away, Didac is left alone with Isa. He calls her a spoilt princess and as things escalate, he eventually accuses her of fabricating the rape allegations, naturally getting himself fired.
The episode closes out with a video of Cruz and Patrick kissing at the club going viral, while Didac leaves the club, having been fired, angry at what’s happened. ..
