- July 23, 2021
As the second season of the action-packed Spanish thriller "Sky Rojo" unfolds, Las Novias make their way towards Paris as they continue to outrun their sinister former pimp, Romeo. Season 2 episode 2, titled "The Talent of Wretches," resumes with a recovered Gina (Yany Prado) feeling more powerful than ever, as she becomes more in tune with her talents as an artist. Coral (Verónica Sánchez) and Wendy (Lali Espósito) are also dealing with their own inner battles as they know they can't let their guard down for even a second.
The episode begins with a flashback to Gina's childhood, where she is seen painting in solitude and her father eagerly awaiting and admiring her art. Years later, her passion for art is rekindled when she stumbles upon a paint store in Paris while on the run. During her stay at the hotel, Gina creates a massive art installation in the suite's bathroom that is nothing short of impressive.
Meanwhile, Cora and Wendy realize that they are being followed by one of Romeo's henchmen, Christian, who is hot on their trail. The ladies try to shake him off by entering an underground fighting club, where they learn that Christian has been using the club as a front to launder money. The club's owner, Axl, challenges Wendy to a fight in exchange for his protection and he quickly becomes a fan favorite among the crowd. Coral, on the other hand, is dealing with her own issues as she is forced to deal with the aftermath of inadvertently killing their former pimp, Moisés.
Later on, the trio find themselves in a sticky situation when they realize that the police are investigating the hotel where they have been staying. They quickly flee the scene and take refuge in an abandoned nightclub where they come face to face with some of their old enemies. Fidel (Asier Etxeandia), the married nightclub owner who has a soft spot for Coral, offers them his protection but is also dealing with his own issues as his wife becomes suspicious of his extramarital affairs.
In "The Talent of Wretches," the audience sees that the ladies are still on the run and up against increasingly difficult challenges. Their enemies are everywhere, and they are forced to confront them almost constantly. While Gina's creative vibe is a breath of fresh air in this episode, Coral and Wendy are still caught up with their own struggles. At its core, the series is about three women who are trying to escape the clutches of their past and build a better future for themselves with a side of dark humor. The show manages to keep up with its frenetic pace, never losing sight of its characters or their stories. It is sure to keep viewers hooked and on the edge of their seats until the very end.
