Theory: Since Val isn’t listening to Sergio, would it be possible that he ends up explaining what happened with him and Juls, to Lupe? Telling her that Juls felt awful before and afterword and was only concerned about Val? I feel like the best redemption arc for Lupe would be her realizing that her meddling threw a wrench in her daughter’s relationship/happiness and then helping to get Juliantina back together.

Hmmmm. That would actually work in making both Sergio and Lupe look better, because right now, yikes. 

But I don’t know what could make Lupe see sense, considering how she’s being. She could just be like, Juliana will come around. Yuck. I know it’s important to show but this prolonged hateful illogical homophobia is nasty to see. 

Maybe after Juls is returned and doesn’t seem to be recovering, that would be the time for it?
