El Embarcadero “The Pier”

To begin: Alejandra (Alex) hides her identity from her dead husband’s lover Verónica so she can learn more about the woman who her husband cheated on her with.

Meanwhile: Alex moves in with Verónica as “Martina,” they become friends, and eventually they make out in a naked, super-intense way.

Verónica’s response on finding out that “Martina” is Alex: throws her out, burns all her things. (Valid.)

After having more time to process: They reconcile (bathed by sunlight in an outdoor bathtub!). Later they make love, make trouble, and solve crimes.

At the end of the series: They are TOGETHER, living their best lives with their daughter.

Supergirl

To begin: Kara Danvers hides her identity from Lena Luthor to protect her.

Meanwhile: they become “best friends” (who have intense eye contact and save each other’s lives multiple times).

Lena’s response on finding out Kara is Supergirl: starts going from gray to full-on dark.

After having more time to process: Lena ends their friendship. Later, Kara keeps trying to get Lena back, to no avail :(.

At the end of the series: ??? (Probably not what we want, but I don’t know how to quit you, Supercorp.)
