ok right, let's think about this from diego's perspective for a moment

lets start at the baseline that ur the spoiled son of one of the most powerful man in the contry, the ✨hottest prettiest most popular coolest boy in ur whooole rich kid elite school✨, and you just started dating this rly hot girl

except u also went out on a date w some older girls on the side and got drunk and totalled a car and ended up in the hospital and now u have to do community service and ur powerful dad is manipulative and crazy and overbearing and u dont know how stand up to him and ur home life is a disaster and ur actually really unhappy with your lifestyle and you very likely have a precocious alcoholism problem and you feel u have to hide the things youre most passionate abt - like music - , repress who you might actually want to be and bow down to your father's pressures. but its fiiiiine as long as you dont think abt it too much, right?

right, anyway! the girl ur dating complains abt this annoying new girl in you ~elite~ school, the daughter of a famous singer. apparently shes weird, and mean, and combative, so tacky and rude and unfiltered and disruptive. this new girl heard some mildly incriminating things you and your girlfriend talked abt, and now shes worried. your attitude is, of course, to go up to the new girl and threaten her for no real reason

and she is, well. much like described: strong-minded, agressive, irreverent, no filter. says and does whatever she wants. talks back to you and then some. you grab her and shes like. who tf are you. no i cant get u my moms autrograph. you threaten her right out and shes just, im sorry, are u chapolin colorado?? i think u forgot ur antennas sweetie

(sorry just. her dialogue >>>)

(she also lights up a sinalizer inside as bus beside u bc of it, but you never find that out)

ok,. you go on to your little rich kid school club. you get attacked and stabbed on the way to ur secret community service - yknow, over the drunk driving, - and a little child has to live on the street bc ur dad arranges that his brother is wrongfully arrested over it. youre not happy abt it, necessarily, but also youre not the type of person who would do anything to stop it, especially against your dad

your dad humiliates you and tears you a new one and you're all very frustrated w life. but you bow your head to him and move on, as always, because what else can you do?

you get drunk, again, and ends up kissing your girlfriends' best friend

the next day you stumble upon that girl in the hallway, and provoke her - like before, she claps back immediately. didn't she realize already this is your place, and the rest of your friends', and not for people like her??

heres the answer: she starts fighting your friend for calling her mother a slut (in not so many words) and you get in the way - and she reads you and your dad for filth. then, she gets her finger right at the center of the wound - she'd much rather have her people and her mother's artist crowd and revealing clothes and ""lack of class""" over having a corrupt father who'd sent someone to jail for a crime they didnt commit.

see, she is the type of person who wouldn't let something like that happen without consequence .

you dont really have much to say to that, or much to do really, except. seethe

you say to your friends, the best thing to do is to ignore her!

and then, well, you dont

by the way, you are the ✨prettiest, hottest, most popular boy in school✨ and this girl, as established, is inconvenient, weird, shameless, uncontrollable, she has no class or respect for you or your friends, her makeup is too dark, her hair is strange, her humor is cutting, her bad temper is obvious. you, well, you can have aaaany girl you want - so you're definitely not and would NEVER be attracted to her at all!

anyway, a gossip rag comes up and talks abt you kissing yours girls best friend. even though it makes absolutely no sense for this new girl to be the one to do it - she doesnt even know you all, and really doesn't seem like the kind to say something behind the back rather than in your face- and even though you've talked a grand total of two (2) times (and "talked" here is being generous), you're suddenly Convinced , it Has to be her. bc....... her mom is a famous singer. so. irrefutable proof. right there.

that, ofc, justifies you throwing her overboard into a lake, even though she doesnt know how to swim. all your friends think you exaggerated, after all you couldve really hurt her, maybe even killed her - you shrug and laugh it off.

"roberta is very rough" you say. SOMEONE has to show her whos boss, someone has to show her who REALLY has the power here, you tell them. obviously that someone has to be you

could it be possible that you're trying to feel powerful after your recent fuck ups and your dads latest humiliation? is it possible you overdid it bc this girl pushes aaaaall your buttons ? that it irritates you that she's so strong-minded and defiant and you're not?🤔naah don't worry about it

so, she finds out you couldve KILLED her. and then she throws ur 15k guitar into the water as retaliation . as one does. and you are LIVID. it is a 15k guitar, and also the one thing you really actually love - music

as the very not-unhinged person you are, you threaten to drown her, (again). she says she isnt scared of you, and you insist that she is. you tell her you have A LOT of power (do you?) and if she "continues with the gossip rags", which she denies writing, you will certainly "put her in her place"

she clearly has no framework for what she should or shouldnt do, or who she should or shouldnt mess with. but that should show her

so she's actually pretty freaked out. and leaves. you don't see her for three weeks

do you take this is as a win?

nope! you, the ✨ hottest, prettiest most popularest boy in school✨ apparently did not have much better things to do these 3 weeks than obsess over her, bc the first thing you do upon coming back is going out to find her, threaten her (you have to cuddle her to do that, for some reason) and put in place a questionable plot to try to get her expelled

see, you tell her, you always get what you want (do you?) and the thing you want THE MOST is for her to leave the school

why do you care SO much abt expelling her? you've talked what, 3 times. you've certainly had worst, more violent altercations with other people in this meantime. you don't know that she would mess with you again. if you're SO powerful and able to show her who's boss, why worry so much about making her , in particular, leave? weeell, don't worry about it

you're so happy about this plan and managing to screw her over, that you get drunk again! in celebration, you toast to the girl who made you the happiest lately - roberta pardo! . you kiss a pillow as if its her. when your actual girlfriend hears you, she thinks it means youre cheating on her - and who can blame her?

and then! the plan fails. bc ur a villain and the power of friendship defeats you!

also, she's extremely clever. you'll realize in the near future, its rare that you manage to outsmart her - and the times you do, you usually regret . but let's not get ahead of ourselves

you're furious. you vow shes "going to pay" ;.

pay for what? she hasnt actually done anything, other than respond to your attacks - all of the times you've met, she's always been answering your own agressiveness, standing her ground instead of bowing her head.

you have so far: threatened her on sight, insulted her family, thrown her in a lake, accused her without evidence, threatened to drown her, and tried to frame her for theft and get her expelled. she has... insulted you back, thrown your guitar on a lake after you threw her, and outsmarted you, defending herself against your accusations

now, not only did she escape your little plot, meaning she will stay in school, where you'll see her everyday, she doesn't even have the decency to be intimidated anymore! now she has the audacity of saying she's not scared of you, that you're the one who is going to pay, and this has just begun.

you hear all of that very closely, by the way, because you're pushing her against a wall

youre even more ... furious and dedicated to ~~bringing her down

you've known her for what ammounts to one (1) week.

#that first month they meet really is a Month #the existential horror of diego bustamante #obsessed with how unhinged diego is regarding roberta actually #especially on that first month. like my girl pushed all the buttons in this disaster teen #he was DESPERATE to control her and see her gone #and how he is SO bothered and furious and livid over the exact things that he later admires envies and loves abt her #this is SO long but is it my fault rebeldemx actually has the most psychologically juicy messed up complex enemies to lovers that gives me #ample ground to overanalyze and go insane??#and whats wild is that its not like oh in 300 episodes diego is going to admit he actually admires her tenacity -#he does it just a few months in! still in the fake dating era! “when im with you i feel that its all possible” !!!!!!!!#IM NORMAL ABT THEM. AS NORMAL AS DIEGO #ceos of enemies to lovers #rbd blogging #and this is all just the first month! not even getting into the ~revenge kissing #and following her #and blackmailing her into doing stuff that interestingly make her spend more time with him

Smiffina Episodes - Episode 253

Strap in, this one is a doozy and it's only the begining of some heavy episodes.

Though to give it its dues it does have a fun start with Gina handing Marilyn a bag of kinky underwear. "Since when has Reg Hollis been ironing your knickers?"

To round up where we are, Kerry set up The Radfords, David in particular to be arrested during an armed robbery. She knows the truth about Andrea being a journalist and her affair with DI Manson. She knows the truth - the real truth - about Gabriel's real identity and threatened him in the yard with revealing it.

She was also arrested for being involved in the armed robbery after Irene helpfully supplied a dictaphone tape of Kerry 'setting it up' with David.

"From what I hear, she practically talked him into commiting armed robbery. We'll never be able to touch him now." according to Tony.

Gabriel confronts June for telling Kerry about his real identity as they drive to a job. She tells him that she couldn't let her think that he's her son. "It just came out."

Gina overhears Smithy ringing Kerry as noone has heard from her and David Radford threatened her life only the day before. Smithy of all people knows how true that can be... Gina asks him why he's so worried and reluctantly he has to confess that he told Kerry about Gabriel being June's son. And The Eyebrow is out in full force.

Andrea is panicking as she tries to get hold of her editor who is refusing to return her calls. She listens in as Neil tells Rob that the Radford Case is all over due to Kerry Young. His mood doesn't get any better when Andrea tries to approach him and tell him about Kerry. Finally her editor agrees to meet her and she tells him that Kerry knows about them. He orders her to 'get to Kerry', especially when she reveals she has proof. She later manages to tell him - Neil is fuming.

Gabriel panics that Kerry knows all about him and can use it to destroy him. He orders June out of the car and says he's going to talk to Kerry. He tries to talk to her through her front door and when there's no answer he breaks in. He searches Kerry's flat finding suitcases already packed and overhearing a message left by Andrea. Before he can get too far his radio reports a burglary - suspect on premises - at Kerry's address. Reg and Tony respond to it and turn up within seconds, leaving Gabriel no choice but to bluff his way out and pretend he was walking by as the call came in. He reports no sign of any occupant but it looking as though she's left in a hurry.

Smithy worries, claiming it's David Radford and that he must have taken Kerry hostage. Gina reports it to Adam and the DI, telling them that she wouldn't just do a runner but she's not answering her phone. With no missing person report, there's nothing they can do. It could be that she's gone to a friend or to visit family and someone has just broken in. Smithy is fuming, saying forensics could take hours - and he knows David won't show his hand if he does have her despite what Gina thinks. Gina has to literally pull him back and holds his arm to stop him charging off, questioning why Smithy cares so much. Smithy passes it off as her being 'one of them' and that 'we look out for each other, don't we?'

She asks Reg to look into Kerry's last few hours, see if she'd made any plans etc and reassures Smithy that everything will be ok, they'll find her and they - her and Smithy - will be the first to speak to her when they do find her. They then receive a job from CAD and Gina places him and Yvonne on it, wanting to keep Smithy busy and out of trouble/harm. Smithy takes the chance to speak to Reg on the way out, asking him to call him on his mobile if he finds anything out and to tell him first.

Smithy asks for June to meet him at St Hughes as his victim is asking for her, having dealt with her earlier. He takes the opportunity to ask Gabriel why he was so quick, Gabriel claims he'd told June he was going to visit Kerry and June has to cover for him. Smithy clearly doesn't buy it but with June's alibi he can't take it further.

Finally Reg has had a break through, he calls Smithy to tell him he's found Kerry. She's with her dad in St Hughes as he's had a stroke. Smithy heads up to find her but before he can, Gabriel is there having spotted her at the vending machine. She tells him he's nothing to her anymore and doesn't scare her and to enjoy packing his prison bags. Gabriel's sure he's not going anywhere. His place is Sun Hill, breathing down her neck.

Back with her dad, Kerry speaks to him, begging him to get better. Smithy stands outside the door watching over her. She sobs that everytime she gets close to someone they betray her and let her down - she hears a noise and looks behind her, spotting Smithy. The exception to the rule.

At Kerry's whilst covering for Tony whilst he gets his lunch, Andrea takes the opportunity to search her flat for the copy of the article. You know, surely even back then someone would have googled Andrea's name or it come up by using research given she's using her REAL NAME as a police officer and is working at the local paper of Sun Hill?

Kerry tells Smithy she's not going to fight the charges. She declares herself an idiot who messed the whole thing up. She starts to cry and Smithy hugs her, promising he'll help her fight the charges. She tells him she's moving on and that she knows whats important - her dad. Smithy tells her he knows what is important to him too - her. Kerry asks for time. He has to leave to get back to work.

Andrea has found the article, destroying it in the ladies toilets and trying to flush it away. Neil calls her to his office and says he can't be sure if she's going to tell people. He calls it a wake up call and says he can't live a lie anymore. He finishes their affair and walks out the room, leaving Andrea crying.

June wants to tell Gina who Gabriel really is, now that Kerry knows. She asks him not to make her do it by herself. He responds by threatening her life.

Kerry calls the station and speaks to Gina. She makes an appointment to tell her 'some very interesting things I think you need to know.' Unfortunately Gabriel - and Andrea - hear Gina tell Smithy that she's heard from Kerry and she's coming in to talk to her. Gabriel volunteers to do a job for Gina, taking him out the station to go to the Coal Lane Estate.

Smithy turns and sees a visibly upset June and goes to ask her if she's OK. She tells him she's got to talk to the superintendent and goes to find him.

Kerry gets out of a taxi and and meets Smithy on the front. She tells him that her dad will pull through, she's got big things to tell Gina that will mean big changes, she's thought about things and will fight the charges - and that she loves him. As they go to kiss there's a loud bang and Kerry slumps forward into Smithy's arms... as he lifts his hand he sees blood - she's been shot! Across the road, Gabriel pulls back from view, holding a snipers rifle...
