** Almost all the circumstances surrounding controlling shares of The Marbella being transferred are utterly preposterous, such as [[spoiler:Luisa's transfer to Rafael being undone because she later institutionalized herself as the result of {{Gaslighting}}, or Miloš acquiring a third of the hotel through an erroneous charity he set up to scam Luisa]]. This is even {{Lampshaded}} by the LatinLover Narrator at one point.
