Money Heist (La Casa de Papel) Season 3 episode 05 review

Alicia Sierra, being a pregnant woman is expected to be soft but she is playfully cunning. As she takes over the negotiations, she doesn't believe in being in a hero and compassionate. She acts out of box and threatens Raquel, whom she can be sure about being week.

Professor tries to warn about this to Raquel but she looses her cool. She thinks it was Professor's mistake but he says that she wants revenge against the system and is blinded by that. Alicia wins the first round.

Inside the bank too, Nairobi finally accepts her feelings about Helsinki but as he is gay, she just decides to stay as a friend close to him. Palermo tries to attack Governor's guards who disrespect Nairobi and his ways to discipline them trigger a bitter conversation of truth in between the team members.

Nairobi attacks back Palermo after accepting her love and says that Palermo was also same like her as he couldn't admit his feelings to Berlin who is into women. The group on the outside and inside of the bank, seems to be hopelessly divided.

Police and CNI are just worried about the red boxes but Tamayo tries to locate Professor and go after him so that he can catch the big fish, to weaken the group's morale inside the bank. On the whole, the writing in this episode is surprising. It doesn't take usual route and comes up with highly satisfying developments in character.

Tokio's reluctance to go for a war against the Police, is also discussed in a realistic manner. The show just dives deep into the psyche of these people who decided to live as criminals and from their point f view, their mission looks like a legitimate question against the system. But writers never try to ask people to disobey the rules, still they are asking important questions that everyone can connect to.
