* GoodAdulteryBadAdultery: Elena is portrayed as a SerialHomewrecker for seducing and sleeping with both of Mónica's husbands behind her back. Meanwhile, the new Mónica's affair with Gerard portrays her as sympathetic since from Mónica's point of view she's simply having a romance with her husband who doesn't know she's inhabiting a new body. Gerardo is portrayed as a scumbag in both affairs, since he only had an affair with Elena [[GoldDigger for the money]] and only lusts after the new Mónica because he's attracted to Adriana's body.
