‘Elite’ Season 4 opened with another murder mystery and with plenty of love triangles and drama in-between. Here’s what happened.
Streaming The soapy teen thriller returns on April 8. April 8 marks the premiere of Elite Season 5, which means it’s time to refresh your memory about all the messy love triangles and mayhem that happened in Season 4. Following Marina’s (Maria Pedraza) murder, Samuel’s (Itzan Escamilla) disappearance, and the accidental death of Marina’s killer Polo (Álvaro Rico), the season opens with yet another mystery: a flash-forward shows a detective talking to Guzmán at the Lake Club asking what happened as paramedics look into the water below. Season 4 then hops back to the present day, where Las Encinas is announcing a new principal: former CEO Benjamin (Diego Martín), who singles out the scholarship kids, Omar (Omar Ayuso) and Samuel, and attempts to oust them. He brings along his three kids: Ari (Carla Díaz), who falls in love with both Samuel and Guzman; Patrick (Manu Ríos), who becomes infatuated with Ander (Arón Piper); and Mencía (Martina Cariddi), a rebel who becomes romantically involved with Rebe (Claudia Salas). We also meet Phillippe (Pol Granch), a prince running from sexual assault accusations. Here’s what to remember. After Benjamin announces Omar and Samuel have to take an extra exam to stay at the school, Guzman agrees to take Ari out and try to smooth things over with her father. It ends up not working, but Guzman falls for her while on their date — despite the fact that he’s still doing long distance with Nadia. Samuel also reveals he’s interested in Ari, and a messy love triangle ensues. Guzman breaks it off with Nadia and begins to date Ari, while Samuel is forced to watch their PDA as their server at the Lake Club. But then Samuel confronts Ari about how she’s really attracted to him (and is just in denial because of their class differences), and they start hooking up on the side. The boys eventually find out about this, and give Ari an ultimatum.
