Recap of Elite Season 5

Elodie’s confession that Phillipe had sexually molested her kicks off the fifth season. With the revelation, his aspirations of reconnecting with Cayetana are dashed. Isadora, a newcomer to Las Encinas, offers her assistance to Phillipe and gradually becomes his new romantic interest. Patrick is seduced by Iván, another new student at the institution. Samuel meets Ari and reconciles with her in order to rekindle their relationship. The cops arrive at Benjamn’s house to inquire about Armando. Cayetana accompany Phillipe to see a therapist, who advises him to abstain from alcohol. He attends Cayetana’s therapy sessions but discontinues them when she informs him that she would not reunite with him.

Rebeka tries to mend fences with Menca, but the latter avoids her. Rebeka, out of spite, begins a connection with another girl, causing Menca pain. Omar encounters Bilal, an immigrant who is looking for refuge with the former. Iván kisses Ari, but she rejects his attempts. Regardless of her connection with Samuel, Ari develops feelings for Iván. While Benjamn is holding a fundraiser, Armando’s body reappears. Samuel reports the body to the police due to Omar’s urging. Samuel also quits his work as a waiter to pursue internship options while he considers his future. Ari and Iván have sex, and Patrick witnesses it.

Armando’s SIM card is discovered in Menca’s phone. She examines the information on the card and discovers that her father, Benjamn, was involved with Armando prior to his death. Cayetana meets Felipe and thinks about dating him. After watching Iván and Ari together, Patrick develops feelings for Iván’s father, Cruz. Meanwhile, Iván discovers he has feelings for Patrick, and the two of them have sex. Menca and Rebeka discuss their problems and reconcile. Samuel admits to killing Armando in order to save Benjamn and Guzmán. Benjamn assures Samuel that his confession would be rewarded with a slew of advantages that will safeguard his future.

Menca delivers Benjamn Armando’s SIM card to protect her father after making a copy of it. Benjamn refuses to bail out Samuel because he believes it will help him avoid any scrutiny. Ari confesses her sorrow about Samuel to Iván, who offers to assist her in freeing him. He throws a fundraising party and pays Samuel’s bail so that he can be released from prison. Ari and Iván had one last fling before Samuel reappears in her life. Iván discovers Patrick is visiting his father. Prior to Samuel’s release, the police lieutenant informs him that Benjamn and Armando ran a network that trafficked the data of powerful and influential people.

If he is successful in taking down Benjamn, the lieutenant offers to withdraw the case against Samuel. He learns from Rebeka that Benjamn has a SIM card that could aid him in completing the secret operation against the principle. Samuel and Rebeka travel to Benjamn’s residence to look for the SIM card and get it from Menca. When Isadora finds Phillipe does not want her, she travels to Ibiza with three school mates and Iván. After consuming narcotics, she passes out, and the three boys rape her. Iván and Phillipe confront the lads and eventually persuade Isadora to file a police report. Cayetana is dismissed for assisting Samuel and Rebeka in locating the SIM card. Rebeka ends her relationship with Menca without giving him a satisfactory reason.

Is Samuel Dead or Alive at the End of Elite Season 5?

Samuel is assumed to be deceased. Samuel chooses to surrender the SIM card he obtained from Menca to the police in order to clear his name in the case. Meanwhile, Benjamn urges him to meet for a conversation before handing over the card. Samuel agrees and meets Benjamn, who gives him a fully-funded seat to study at the University of Oxford, as well as further stipends and a job offer in his company after his studies are over. Samuel, on the other hand, declines the offer since his conscience tells him he does not need to be a scapegoat. He makes it plain to Benjamn that he will undoubtedly surrender the card, prompting the latter to forcefully get it from Samuel.

While Benjamn is attempting to collect the card, Samuel stumbles, smacks his head on the concrete floor, and falls into the pool. Despite the fact that Patrick arrives on the scene and saves Samuel from drowning, Benjamn makes no attempt to summon an ambulance. He believes that contacting an ambulance will result in his arrest for attempted murder. To avoid such a situation, he chooses against asking assistance to save Samuel. Patrick summons Ari and Menca, who arrive with Rebeka and Omar at their home. Although Samuel briefly awakens from his coma, the huge loss of blood renders him comatose again, and he collapses to the ground.

Omar and Rebeka do everything they can to keep him alive, but it is unclear whether he will survive until the police arrive after Menca informs them. Samuel’s massive blood loss and unresponsiveness indicate that he may have perished. Furthermore, Omar and Rebeka’s forlorn expressions hint at Samuel’s death. Despite the uncertainties surrounding Samuel’s condition, there is a glimmer of optimism that he is still alive. Because the season closes without displaying Samuel’s condition upon the arrival of the authorities or confirming his likely death, there’s a slim chance he survives, if only to continue his fight against death.

Is Benjamn apprehended? Do the cops obtain the SIM card?

Yes, Benjamn is apprehended. When Patrick requests that he call an ambulance to save Samuel, Benjamn places his own safety and the protection of his family over Samuel’s life. He is afraid of being caught for attempted murder, even though he does not commit it, because he has a reason to kill Samuel. Benjamn does not want to spend his life in prison or watch his children and daughters live unsupervised lives while he is imprisoned. Menca, on the other hand, does not become selfish like her father and calls the police. After a string of betrayals, she understands her father does not deserve another opportunity. As a result, the police arrive and arrest Benjamn.

However, it is unknown whether the police would obtain the SIM card used against Benjamn. Samuel falls to the swimming pool with his backpack on after banging his head. Menca subsequently discovers the card in the water, which she must have retrieved. Even though she phones the police to have her father arrested for attempting to murder Samuel, Menca may be hesitant to submit the card. She does not consider trafficking powerful people’s data to be heinous enough to endanger her family. She may want her father to be punished simply for attempting to kill or perhaps killing Samuel, which will likely encourage her to conceal the card from the authorities.

Otherwise, Samuel’s impending death may enrage Menca, prompting him to turn in the card to the authorities. Her father cannot be trusted again, especially after attempting to murder his daughter’s boyfriend in her eyes. Even if she is mistaken, such a belief may bring her to the police station with the SIM card. Menca’s judgment on the SIM card will almost certainly determine Benjamn’s destiny. Benjamn may be sentenced to more time in prison if she decides to hand it to the police. If she does not, Benjamn may try to establish that he is not responsible for Samuel’s alleged death in order to be released from prison.

Is Patrick and Iván going to end up together? Will Iván go to Qatar?

Iván is crushed when he learns that Patrick and his father, Cruz, have an intimate relationship. He loses hope and succumbs to agonizing sadness. Recognizing his son’s condition, Cruz invites Patrick to a meeting with Iván without informing either of them of the other’s presence. Cruz reminds Patrick of his feelings for Iván and informs both of them that he will no longer be involved with Patrick. He also reminds Iván that he has discovered someone wonderful in Patrick. Iván is now happy with Patrick after years of moving from one place to another without being able to sustain any meaningful connections, and Cruz wants to protect that happiness.

Cruz’s words prompt Iván to consider how he has found a home in Patrick. He recognizes that the bond he has with Patrick should not be wasted. Furthermore, the voice message Iván gives to Ari confirms that he adores her brother. The chat with Cruz gives Iván the confidence and reassurance he needs to assure himself that Patrick is the one. While Patrick is dealing with his father’s detention, Iván appears and hugs him, reaffirming their relationship. Iván will not travel to Qatar since they will end up together. Cruz wants his son to be with the one he loves, and Iván’s decision to reunite with Patrick alters the intentions of both father and son. As a result, we can anticipate Iván staying with Patrick.
