Silvialogy Review 1

** UPDATED ** Before we proceed to Episode 3x10, which happens to be one of my favorite Silvia episodes ever, it is appropriate to review all previous materials and formulate some conclusions about Silvia:

1. She went into therapy after her marriage to Lucas
2. She loved being in the lab; it's like being a fish in water
3. It is obvious that she was still in love with Lucas through most of Seasons 3/4
4. The reason why she was so involved in the Uriarte case was that Tomas Fernandez, her ex-father in law (who never learned that she and Lucas got married) WAS involved
5. Bad hair days happened in San Antonio quite often
6. She dated Gonzalo for a total of 19 episodes
7. Despite everything, Silvia loved Sara unconditionally, even when Sara was rubbing it in her face that Lucas was in love with her and not Silvia
8. She was quite the wedding planner
9. She married Lucas on "impulse"
10. Gonzalo was her rebound affair; while it's obvious that he's madly in love with her, Silvia never really felt the same way
11. She carried a pair of handcuffs in her back pocket. Always.
12. She smoked (we were never informed that she quit after Palillero asked her to)
13. Without Lucas (or Pepa, for that matter), Silvia was quite lost and had to make sure she had someone on reserve duty; she never really felt she could be alone until the end of year 3 (I'm not sure where Season 3 ended and 4 began, so for simplicity, I'd refer to calendar years)
14. She could fake a mean orgasm and had Lucas fooled on so many occasions
15. Palillero Marquez could not satisfy her in bed - he told Lucas himself while asking for some advice
16. She was qualified to conduct a lie detector test
17. She and Lucas were members of the Mile High Club
18. During their honeymoon, they stayed in bed for 3 days and 3 nights straight
19. When they were married, they spent a Holy Week in Santander
20. She likes sushi

Up to this point, the Silvia we see was confident professionally but very unsure personally. She loved Lucas but even she accepted that they could not be together. She liked Gonzalo but he was very emo. While she simply seemed to be a mess to the outside world, we can see that she was trying desperately to put all the pieces of her life together.
Maybe deep inside she knew that she always saved a big chunk of her heart for the first person she ever kissed.
