However, as the plot advances, new cases begin to pile to the whole issue. Tato Marín had killed Flores' parent to turn into a parental figure for him and secure him as his player; the lawyer Nino Paredes was aware of this and blackmailed him with it. Vanina is killed by Lalo, who was drunk and run the car backwards instead of forwards. And several other murders, kidnappings, killing attempts, etc. In special, the murder of Giselle involved the plots for a very long time afterwards.

* MsFanservice: Marga. While all the main females such as Giselle, Vanina and Laura (only while posing as Mia, of course) provide their fair share of fanservice, resident FieryRedhead Marga Molinari is definitely the queen of this trope, as just about every episode has her show off her body in some way; the most blatant example is probably episode 18, in which Marga is seen wearing nothing but her lingerie during the entire episode for absolutely no reason other than fanservice.

* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: Laura and Giselle are a case of this. Giselle is a woman with "normal" girly interests (clothes, make-up, etc), while Laura is a woman with more traditionally manly interests (guns, work, sports, etc) as well as not very concerned with her looks. This differences cause them to clash more often than not, with Giselle thinking Laura is an "ugly, boy-ish mess" while Laura thinks Giselle is an "old, self-centered hag". They make quite a good team when their interests align though.
