Carla elite before and after3/26/2023 Malick on the surface seemed like a good Muslim boy who was soon pairing up with Nadia. Like with the second season, two new characters were introduced this year. The writers would’ve been far better off finishing the Polo storyline at the end of the second season, and then allowing the third season to start off as a fresh slate with new characters and new storylines, instead of what we wound up with. Sure by the end Polo was finally willing to give himself up to the police, putting an end to the nightmare, finished his relationship with Cayetana & Valerio after coming to see how toxic it was, confessed his guilt to his mother’s and persuaded them to reinstate Lu & Nadia’s scholarship, but none of it really makes up for what he’d done. It seemed to be a moment that was supposed to be sentimental, pulling at the heartstrings but it had the complete opposite effect as it was unearned. Of course that wasn’t quite to be the end of it as Polo then staggered through the Club, fell through glass that needed repairing and before he met his maker, got Guzman to finally say that he did indeed forgive Polo for killing his sister. So when Lu accidentally plunged the broken champagne bottle into Polo’s heart? It felt like justice was finally being served. Everyone suffered at some point during the season because of Polo and for the most part he remained unrepentant, once again playing the role of the victim when Guzman tied him up and beat him to try to get Polo to reveal where the trophy that killed his sister was hidden. Through the third season we had to sit back and watch as Guzman & Samuel were branded bullies for wanting a murderer to suffer consequences of his actions, Polo’s mothers using their influence to buy his way back into the school and keep him somewhat protected from his classmates. He’s sat back and watched his best friend grieve for his sister, an innocent man forced to live a life on the run and his family destroyed as a result of this, and still Polo’s been rather unrepentant only really caring for himself, even trying to kill himself not as a result of the guilt eating away at him but because he was so afraid of Anders turning him in. He was far more sad over Carla ending their relationship than he was at killing his best friends sister, and spent most of the second season desperately trying to keep Carla in check to make sure she didn’t crack and land him in trouble, before acting as Cayetana’s guardian angel and having the favour returned. Throughout the first season he was revealed to be an incredibly weak character, no backbone in sight. With Polo’s death none of that feeling is there.
