Marina's party

— Laura, in "Bienvenidos"

**Marina's party**, also known as Marina's coming-out party or Marina's 16th birthday party, was held at the Nunier Osuna house in the episode Bienvenidos.

## Events

The party was held to celebrate Marina's 16th birthday.

The Nunier Osuna house was decorated with many lights and there were many outdoor heaters.

During the party, Ander threw up on Lu's dress. As she washed it, Guzmán walked in and they discussed their disdain for Nadia. Lu asked Guzmán to seduce and humiliate Nadia to prevent Nadia from revealing what she saw in the changing room to Azucena.

Ventura confronted Samuel about Nano's vandalism. The night before, Nano attempted to spraypaint the word "ladrón", meaning "thief", on the exterior of House of Nunier Osuna to protest Nunier S.A.'s corruption. Samuel tried to explain that he was spraypainting a quote from Shakespeare, but Ventura didn't believe him. Ventura then asked Samuel to ask the other 2 scholarship students, Nadia and Christian, to take photos with him as a PR stunt. He threatened to report Nano's vandalism to the police if Samuel didn't comply. Marina was not satisfied with this and confronted her parents about using the new students as a PR stunt.

After Guzmán heard of Nano's vandalism, he angrily confronted Samuel. Nano showed up and confronted Guzmán about his family's corruption and embezzlement of funds. This resulted in a physical fight, which Polo and another man break up. Nadia later approached Guzmán to defend Samuel, and threatened to reveal what she saw in the shower if Guzmán reported Samuel to the school principal.

During the party, Polo asked Carla to hook up with Christian, so he could watch them from outside the bedroom.
