Canon
Christian convinces Ander to meet with a drug dealer to buy joints. Later, Ander goes on a gay hookup app and meets with an unknown guy, who is revealed to be Ander’s drug dealer Omar. Upon recognising him, Omar leaves and makes an exit. Days later, Ander meets with Omar to buy a joint, but convinces him to stay. Omar insists that he doesn’t like guys, but nonetheless the two start kissing. They start to makeout on a bench, but once they start to get sexual, Ander leaves, citing that he is uncomfortable. Later, Ander texts Omar asking if he still freaked out, but doesn’t respond until late in the evening. He asks him how he’s doing and asks to meet ‘without an excuse’. But after receiving a stern warning from their father, Omar decides against and tells Omar he’s busy.

A few days later, Ander is invited to a party by Christian and there Samu introduces Ander to Omar, though Omar pretends not to already know him, mispronouncing his name as “Andres”. The pair find a quiet room, deal drinks, and then start passionately kissing. Later in the party, the two boys chat with Nano and Christian. Ander gently brushes against Omar’s hand but the two break contact after the others talk about Polo’s sexuality. Ander stands up for Polo, saying it is okay to like guys.

Later in the party, Ander is high and gets another pill from Omar. He also tries to kiss him. Guzman watches and threatens Omar by saying he’s tell his parents if he doesn’t stop giving Ander pills. Outside, Ander tries to get pills from a random group of men, but one of them starts to beat him up and Omar intervenes. They sit down and Omar says that they shouldn’t see each other again.
