El Final del ParaĆso spoilers reveal the end is here, and it was awful. Seriously. We canāt stress how obvious this last-second series finale intended to be a cliffhanger into next year was. But, since we have followed and enjoyed this show for years, weāre going to start with the good. Hang on, because this is going to be a mess.
El Final del ParaĆso spoilers: The good
One thing we liked was the death of Mariana SanĆn Santana (Stephania Duque). Weāve been waiting for this since the revelation the original chicas del barrio and their daughters are cursed. Among her many issues are almost killing Catalina MarĆn Santana (Carolina GaitĆ”n), the rape of HernĆ”n DarĆo Bayona (Juan Pablo Urrego), and trying to kill her own mother. Her death came suddenly, after a whiplash-inducing repentance for her sins. Carmen Villalobos killed it as Catalina Santana, watching her daughter die right in front of her.
El Final del ParaĆso spoilers: Resolution
Another good part is (that will feed into the epically bad) is we did get plenty of resolution. We learned that DoƱa Hilda Santana (Catherine Siachoque) wins in the fashion world, and she ended up with Salvatore Miranda (MartĆn Karpan).
YĆ©sica āLa Diablaā BeltrĆ”n (Kimberly Reyes) was captured and extradited to the United States. She ended up pleading guilty to a ton of charges.
Vanessa Salazar (EstefanĆa GĆ³mez) and JosĆ© Luis āJotaā Vargas (Francisco BolĆvar) ended up coming back to town and helping youth dealing with drug addiction. Itās a strange deviation for her earlier decision to get out of dodge. They did, however, travel the world together first.
Albeiro MarĆn (FabiĆ”n RĆos) ends up with Marcela PinzĆ³n (Giovanna Andrade) somehow and found a happy life raising Albeirito. How they ended up together isnāt clear.
El Final del ParaĆso spoilers reveal that Natalia BĆ©rmudez (Linda Baldrich) ended up getting a promotion within the DEA. How, weāre not sure. Yes, they captured Diabla, but they also did a rogue operation that involved civilians. Weāre pretty sure an agency would frown on that. The series ending found her with Ivan Calvo (Carlos BenĆtez).
Finally, we have Catalina la Grande. She apparently got a promotion as well, and raised her granddaughter while running her foundation. She also holds vigil at the bedside of Aurelio āEl Titiā Jaramillo (Gregorio PernĆa), who went into a coma after taking a bullet meant for Cata Grande.

El Final del ParaĆso spoilers: The horrible
This leads us to the bad. So, how do we know all these things? After obviously cancelling the show at the last minute, they added a bunch of graphics of the different characters to the end of the episode. Text moved at lightning speed across the screen, giving all these vital details. It was a cheap, cheesy way to close out a show that fans have been following for years. It was also disrespectful to a couple of characters, and incomplete. So, what did they forget?
El Final del ParaĆso spoilers: The forgotten
One of the first to fall into the plothole of cancellation was Edmundo “Sombra” Dorantes Borrero (Mauricio Cujar). After spending most of the season talking about his quest to prove his innocence, we didnāt get that. Last we saw him, he agreed to meet with Alex Mondego (Pedro Calvo). He asked Sombra to stay with him, but we didnāt see his answer. Nor do we know what become on his man (and Cata Grandeās son) Sebastian SanĆn Santana (Carlos BĆ”ez).
Reina (Alejandra Miranda) and RamĆ³n āMonchoā Monetcarlo (Mauricio Mauad) were the next to fall. After Moncho betrayed her, Reina was furious and told Alex Moncho is dead to her. We later see Reina arrive at Monchoās room to talk, but we have no idea what happened.
Another one who fell into plot hole purgatory is Santiago SanĆn (Roberto Manrique). His quest to prove himself was also a big story. Unfortunately, that scene we described where his amnesia-sticken self meets a woman who appears to know him was his last appearance. No details are given in the final breakdown. But, that wasnāt the worst sin the writers committed.
El Final del ParaĆso spoilers: Unacceptable
Besides El Titi and Cata, we havenāt seen a pairing that is more popular than Cata 2 and Nachi. That is why we canāt fathom why there was no update on them. We know Cata 2 was released and sent back to her family, but Nachi was still missing, held as a bargaining chip by Mariana. Considering Cata 2 was the main protagonist for the first two seasons, and they continued to play a major role in season 3, the oversight is a massive disrespect. The fans deserved much better, as did the actors.
