ÉLITE

It’s almost time to return to Las Encinas.

Netflix’s Spanish dramaEliteis coming back foranother dramatic season on April 8.

As season 4 traced the story of why Ari ended up hospitalized, a host of drama-filled twists and turns help build up the climactic final episode. Like allEliteseasons, it also featured a surprise death.

Though it’s been less than a year since season 4 aired, the drama that follows the students at Las Encinas is never simple. Theupcoming fifth seasonpromises the same kinds of lavish partying, dramatic romances, and, of course, a new murder mystery.

Ahead of the new season, read below as we break down everything that happened to our favorite scandalous students in season 4. (Be warned:There are spoilers within!)

What happened to Samuel inEliteseason 4?

As with almost every new season, Samuel (Itzan Escamilla) finds a new love interest in season 4. This time, he has his sights set on the new girl named Ari. The only hurdle: she’s dating Guzmán (Miguel Bernardeau). Samuel fights his former enemy for Ari throughout the fourth season, following their one-night stand.

In the end, Ari chooses Samuel over Guzmán, though the moment she’s hoping to tell him is interrupted when she witnesses Armando attacking her sister, which results in Ari’s own hospitalization.

Tensions remain high between Samuel and Rebeka (Claudia Salas) following their friendship-turned-short-lived romance that ended with Rebeka discovering Samuel was behind her mother’s drug arrest. By the end of the fourth season, it seems Rebeka and Samuel are close to normalcy in their rekindled friendship, which Samuel spends the greater part of the season working to recover.

What happened to Guzmán inEliteseason 4?

Ever the ladies man, Guzmán finds himself in yet another love triangle with the arrival of Ari, who both he and Samuel have their eyes on. He starts the season dating Nadia (Mina El Hammani) long-distance, but her new life in New York City proves too overwhelming.

Guzmán ends hisElitejourney as he goes on a backpacking trip with Ander (Arón Piper). Based on a recent Instagram announcement, it seemsGuzmán will not be returningfor the fifth season.

What happened to Omar and Ander inEliteseason 4?

Newbie Patrick quickly catches Ander’s eye and eventually becomes entangled in Omar and Ander’s relationship. What starts as a one-off threesome turns into a larger relationship question for the show’s most beloved couple as they each individually form connections with Patrick. Patrick eventually comes between the couple, with Patrick and Omar’s secret hookup prompting Ander to end the relationship. They end the season back together, though Ander takes off with Guzmán in the final episode, embarking on the backpacking trip he’s put off twice due to his relationship with Omar.

It’s unclear whether Ander will return in season 5, but Omar is guaranteed to be back.

What happened to Rebeka inEliteseason 4?

What happened in the last episode ofseason 4?

Guzmán finds himself plagued with anxiety at the prospect of being caught for the murder. After tying an anchor around Armando’s body and dumping it in a lake, Rebeka, Samuel, and Guzmán promise never to speak of the incident again. It’s unclear how the murder will be handled in the upcoming season, but as with all the show’s previous deaths, the truth always threatens to come out.

Season 5 ofElitepremieres on Netflix on April 8.
