Well, Velvet Coleccion is picking up speed now, i loved this episode. At first watching Lourditas something looked weird or out of place with the actress, then i remembered that some of you pointed how Manolito actor had many Pedro mannerisms and i discover why it was weird, she moves and speaks like Barbara! lol. Clara and Sergio relationship has more substance as well, though i still think it's a bit rushed. With Elena we have now a love triangle, but i think it's going to be treated with good sense of humor (312, 312 guests that hugged me one by one out of pity, lol). So, for those who hate love triangles of two women-1 man, relax I expect Elena and Clara to become good friends by the end of the season. Cultural note: This is the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela, on the northwest of Spain, in the region of Galicia www.youtube.com/watch?v=o9b8rbyayXg&t at the end of the clip you can see the "Botafumeiro", a big incenser. The movie is "The Way" of Martin Sheen (his father was a Spaniard from Galicia) and his son Emilio Estevez, it's a very beautiful movie. When the Infantes and especially De la Riva are on screen I can't stop smiling and laughing. I bet writers really enjoy creating their scenes, besides the sad moments when Pedro speaks with Rita of course. When Pedro is pushing his son Manolo to marry Inés is hilarious but also really sad as well, because he's projecting himself in his son and Rita in Inés, he is like: don't waste your time if you have something that good because bad things can happen.

My absolute fav is seeing the young below the stairs employees as the ones in charge. I loved this episode finally gaining some momentum. I love the infantes specially the looks on their faces when all those ladies piled out of the vw van, hilarious. I see Emilios mannerisms on Pedro. Also getting their first apt together. Pedro's conversation with Rita, I sure miss her. Jonas love him still, give him a love interest already. I see many possible love interests. Can't wait to see more.❤

Alfi, I totally agree with your assessment and I hope you're right that Clara stays far away from Sergio. IMO they have no chemistry and he has about .00000000001 percent of Mateo's looks and personality (and here I must confess that I think Javier Rey is one of the most beautiful men in the world! ). I hope Sergio reunites with Elena. I almost find myself wishing that Cristina's daughter would come back in some capacity so we can have The Barbara & Cristina Show, The Sequel. I also want a good romance for Jonas--I wish Patricia would come back so they could explore that again.

But Jonas romance is Marie? It's quite obvious they like each other a lot but they are not brave enough to declare themselves because they don't want to lose their friendship if they are rejected.
Sergio is not Alberto nor Mateo by any means, he is the good character who can't do any wrong aka "boring", aka "the new Ana"? Elena is coming back in the same way Alberto appeared in Ana's life, willing to start again their love story. A gender bender of characters?
Even if i like the show a lot now, because it's the comedy part what i like the most, it may lack a bit of drama and passion, maybe with Sergio brother Pau maneuvering behind their backs and Elena coming back, they will get a bit more serious with the main plot. A show with a positive message is nice, but too many sweets make you sick.

A show with a positive message is nice, but too many sweets make you sick. I've been watching and wanted to wait before commenting. I wanted to be fair and give the new Velvet Collection a fair chance. It's really hard because Velvet was sheer perfection. We had Ana and Alberto and they were the glue that held that story of Velvet together. Will they get together and all the obstacles in their way. So coming to Velvet Collection I had to let that go and be objective. There's a lot of fun new characters which is good. BUT I don't feel like we have the two Romeo and Juliet that we can get swept away with. "Sergio is not Alberto nor Mateo" ..that's it. I don't feel the passion that he would have for Velvet. Why would he be driven for this house of couture? I miss that the seamstresses lived in Velvet and seeing them build a fashion line. I get Cara is to step in Ana's shoes but without Mateo there in Velvet again I don't feel the drama.

Agree with what others are saying about Sergio. There's zero chemistry between him and Clara (which is not a slight to either actor because you can't make that happen). I really hope they aren't going to drag this out because honestly I'm already getting a little bored with that storyline. Actually, I'd rather see a great friendship build between Clara and Sergio.
So sad to see Pedro projecting his grief onto Manolito's life (said it before and I'll say it again, the actor playing Manolito is an absolute joy to watch) but it's fitting and I think they are handling that storyline well.
Agree with what others have said though, there's still something missing. The star crossed lovers you're rooting for worked so well to ground Velvet (and for that matter Gran Hotel) and without it, it feels a little empty. Hopefully the show will find its footing.
