Raquel had solidified her badass status to the gang thanks to the training demonstration she did with Marseille. It was arranged that they will include the self defense move they learned during training to their morning exercise so they will be more familiar to it.
Sergio continued planning the contingencies while teaching the heist step by step to his students with the help of Martin and Raquel. The gang spends the evenings in a lovely dinner organized by the monks for them for which they are more than grateful. Of course, the others clashed from time to time. Having a couple in the midst is a big factor for family drama since Denver and Monica obviously got an unresolved issue between them and it affects everyone because they can all hear whenever they argue with each other.
One night in particular, Sergio and Raquel are having a quality and intimate moment together when everyone started yelling at the hallway. He tried to ignore it first but when it grew louder, Sergio was afraid they will wake up the monks and they cannot risk being evicted from their perfect hideout.
"Where are you going?" Raquel asked when he suddenly got out of bed.
Frustration is written all over her face. She doesn't like being left hanging and he can understand why but the people outside need to stop yelling at each other.
"I am just going out to make them stop or we will be evicted soon", he answered.
She laid flat on the bed with a groan and let him go. Sergio is a patient man but he doesn't like being interrupted during his moment with Raquel. First, it felt incredibly awful and second, he doesn't like her getting frustrated. So when he saw them arguing about sexism, he cannot help but felt irritated at such petty argument in the middle of the night. He clapped his hands to get their attention and then told them to go back to bed. He saw Monica went inside Tokyo's room to spend the night which confirmed that it started with the couple…again.
"What happened?" Raquel asked when he got back in their room.
"Lovers' quarrel and everyone joined in", he answered and sighed.
She pulled him back to bed and resumed what was interrupted by the chaos outside. They're just about to take things further when the door suddenly burst opened and Tokyo came in unannounced.
Sergio jumped away from Raquel and put on his glasses while Raquel couldn't help but rolled her eyes around at the another interruption.
Tokyo began rambling about how she wants to be in charge instead of Martin. She gave a compelling reason to Sergio but it's obvious between Raquel and him that it's unlikely to happen due to her impulsive nature. Let's be real, she caused most of the hiccups during the last heist and he cannot simply risk any unwanted hiccups during the next one because it will definitely cost them lives.
"I don't know if you fucking notice but you're interrupting an intimate moment", Raquel snapped impatiently.
Tokyo pieced it together in her head and then tried to tease and intimidate Raquel but it didn't work. When she left, the mood had already disappeared in their room. Sergio considered what she said about being in charge. He knows there is a downside at having Martin at the helm because he can be impulsive and narcissistic too but his advantage is he is in love with the plan and he knows it through and through. Sergio trusts Tokyo completely but she's unpredictable and emotional. The heist doesn't need too much of that.
"Please tell me you're not actually considering letting her take charge", Raquel said guessing what's on his mind.
"This heist is important to her, probably more than all of us", he muttered.
"That's true. All the more not to let her take charge. Listen. If the situation is different and you're on Rio's shoes right now, I will do anything in my power to make the heist work to get you back. If that means I have to shoot all the hostages inside the bank, I will do that to get you back. If I can see myself going that far, how far do you think Tokyo is willing to go for Rio?" she asked.
Tokyo is very extreme. When she loves, it's all the way. She knows it's going to be difficult to ask him and the others to risk their lives for Rio and yet she asked anyway even though she would receive hurtful words. She almost ruined the heist at the Royal Mint on the very first day for Rio. Raquel was right. If a logical and levelheaded person like her is willing to pull the trigger for someone she loves, Tokyo is willing to blow up the entire Bank of Spain for Rio.
"Martin is not stable either", he reminded her.
"…and so was Andres but you put him in charge back then", she reminded him back. "It's not about stability, Sergio and you know that. It's dependability. It's knowing that person will do whatever you say because he respects the plan more than anything. You can't have someone in command inside the bank who will oppose to your orders. You need someone inside who knows how to take one and imposed it to others", she explained.
Sergio stared at his woman with all the adoration in the world. She keeps him on his toes and she clear things for him when everything seems dark and confusing. What will he do without her?
"You're right", he said.
"Of course, I am", she teased and then raised an eyebrow. "So Professor, would you like to continue what you started?" she asked.
Sergio removed his eyeglasses and gently pushed her back to bed.
"Oh Inspector, I hope you're ready for what I have in mind", he teased back which earned him a giggle.
