## Trivia

* This is the last episode of Alex & Co.
	+ After its premiere, a promo announced the name of the Alex & Co. spin-off: Penny on M.A.R.S.
* When Emma, Ray, Rebecca and Matt find out that Bakìa cancelled her appointment to go to The Talent World, they decide to make a cover of Live It Up. They shot its videoclip at Matt's Villa, though that part isn't seen inside the series.
* Matt finally tells his parents that Rebecca is his girlfriend. He thought they wouldn't like her but in fact they are very happy for him.
* Alex discovers that Bakìa is at the same hotel as him. The director of the hotel allows him to make a call to her room but Freddy Wolf picks it up and refuses to meet Alex.
	+ Penny tells Alex the number of Bakìa's room. He goes there and tries to convince her to sing Nicole's song.
* Alex performs The Universe Owes You One at The Talent with Bakìa.
	+ Meanwhile, Linda tries to wake Nicole up because she feels alone without her.
	+ At the end of the song, Nicole wakes up.
* Rules don't allow contestants to sing with celebrities so Alex is disqualified. He thinks it's fair as his objective wasn't winning but realizing Nicole's dream.
* Alex realizes Penny is Nicole's saviour because she knew about the bracelet he gave to Nicole before she fell down the wall.
* Penny makes her decision: she will apply for the M.A.R.S. Camilla is very happy to hear that.
* The episode ends with Alex and Nicole sharing a kiss while Ray, Emma, Rick and Sara De Ponte, Rebecca and Matt watch them happily from outside the room.
* This episode is titled "Together forever" in France.

## Goofs

* During Bakìa and Alex's The Universe Owes You One performance you can notice two errors:
	+ The first time the line "*and give to anyone*" is sung, Bakìa holds her microphone with her right hand and has his left hand raised. When the camera changes, her microphone is in her left hand and her right hand is raised. Then the camera changes once more and her hands position is the first one again.
	+ In the line "*your sorrows*", Bakìa changes her microphone from her left to her right hand twice due to an editing error.

**Linda, to Nicole:** You're my worst enemy. When I argue with you, I feel so good with myself.
