Contains spoilers for 'Land of Women' Episode 3
BARCELONA, SPAIN: 'Land of Women' Episode 3 has officially premiered on Apple TV+, continuing Gala's (Eva Longoria) journey as her life in La Muga becomes increasingly difficult.
In 'Land of Women' Episode 2, Gala requested a job from Amat (Santiago Cabrera) in his wine business due to financial need. The third episode opens with Gala fully engaged in the process of improving the wine's quality.
As they work together, Gala learns the details of winemaking and develops a closer bond with Amat, hinting at a potential romantic relationship down the road.
Has Gala fallen in love with Amat?
In 'Land of Women' Episode 3, Gala informs the women of La Muga that while the grapes are of good quality, the wine they produce is too strong and tastes unpleasant, prompting a need for new production methods.
The women of La Muga, who already dislike Gala and her mother, show little enthusiasm for changing their production methods. However, Amat comes to Gala's rescue by asking the women to be patient and give her a chance. This demonstrates Amat's deep fondness for Gala, as he not only provided her with a place to stay but also supports her in earning a living.
Gala and Amat spend an entire day tasting the 10-year-old wines and find them uniformly unsatisfactory. Gala proposes blending new wines with wine from a previous year to create a more balanced and less overpowering flavor. She also suggests exploring the possibility of selling the wine in bulk to one of her acquaintances.
As the episode unfolds, Gala persuades Amat to reach out to her friend who might purchase the wine in bulk. Gala's friend agrees to visit La Muga for a tasting session of wines in two weeks.
Together, they collaborate to solve this problem, showcasing their compatibility. While working together, Gala also opens her heart to Amat about how Fred's (James Purefoy) absence has been affecting her, expressing the challenges of having to manage everything on her own.
Amat seems to care for her as he goes out of his way to uplift Gala's spirits. It appears that Amat already likes Gala, and if she weren't married and he weren't involved with Montse (Ariadna Gil), he might have expressed his affection for her.
Later, Gala finally guesses Fred’s email password and discovers that he has a lover. She then has a conversation with Amat about everything. Amat comforts Gala by praising her qualities and bluntly criticizing Fred's behavior, calling him an idiot. Throughout the scene, the chemistry between them is palpable.
If Montse had not unexpectedly shown up, Gala and Amat might have kissed. When Gala saw Montse kissing Amat, she felt sad. This suggests that Gala may have developed feelings for Amat.
Can Gala and Amat ever be together?
Gala is married to Fred, and despite knowing he is cheating on her, she has not filed for divorce from him. On top of that, she doesn't know where he is, complicating her already strained relationship with him.
Meanwhile, it appears that Amat is in a relationship with Montse, as she came to his house, kissed him, and invited him to the bedroom. If Amat can't break up with Montse, starting a new relationship with Gala would be difficult.
Given that Amat and Gala live in the same house, it's likely that their relationship will deepen, and they may confess their feelings for each other.
They are also working together in the wine business, and a lady is coming to taste their wine in two weeks. Amat and Gala may collaborate to expand their business and earn money, which could provide them with an opportunity to grow closer to each other.
This suggests that they could potentially begin a new relationship, given their mutual admiration for each other. However, obstacles may arise due to Fred and Montse's presence in their lives, complicating their path forward.
Given how much La Muga citiziens hate Gala and her mother, the love affair between Gala and Amat could indeed lead to chaos.
'Land of Women' Episode 3 is now streaming on Apple TV+.
