'Women in Blue' Episode 2: Why Valentina's bold stand is a ticking time bomb
Contains spoilers and speculations for 'Women in Blue'
MEXICO CITY, MEXICO: The first two episodes of 'Women in Blue' have officially premiered on Apple TV+, and it introduces Maria (Bárbara Mori), Valentina (Natalia Téllez), Gabina (Amorita Rasgado), and Angeles (Ximena Sariñana), who are among the pioneers of Mexico's first female police force.
The episode reveals that a serial killer is targeting and murdering young women in Mexico City. In response to the growing terror and to divert attention from the struggling police force, the government launches a new recruitment drive for female officers.
Maria is driven to uncover the true identity of the serial killer because the police have mistakenly apprehended an innocent man following the death of another woman.
It seems that Maria's quest for justice will ultimately lead her to uncover the true identity of the serial killer, though it will come at a steep price. Meanwhile, the other female police officers find themselves entangled in a dangerous game.
Valentina's bold questions put her at risk of severe backlash
After enduring a grueling boot camp, 16 women, including Maria, Valentina, Gabina, and Angeles, are chosen to join the newly established Mexico Police Force.
However, their excitement and anticipation quickly turn to frustration when they discover that, despite their rigorous training, they are not provided with essential resources such as firearms or their patrol cars.
Valentina, in particular, is incensed by this apparent lack of support and resources, viewing it as a blatant disregard for their safety.
She repeatedly questions the authorities about the decision, demanding explanations and insisting that the deficiencies be addressed.
Male officers might view Valentina as a threat, given that the campaign to recruit female officers was launched to shift focus from the serial killer. If Valentina uncovers this truth, she may feel compelled to take action.
In such a scenario, the authorities might try to silence Valentina and possibly remove her from the team. She could face severe backlash, potentially leading to her downfall.
If the serial killer is a member of the male Mexico Police Force, Valentina could be in grave danger, facing potentially life-threatening consequences.
Will Valentina find the truth about the serial killer?
If Valentina is removed from the team, she will take it upon herself to find the killer. Determined to uncover the truth despite her dismissal, she may secretly continue her investigation while maintaining the guise of a police officer to avoid suspicion.
Valentina could start by interrogating the families of the victims, using her skills and experience to gather valuable clues.
In her quest for the truth, Valentina might seek Maria's help with the investigation. Maria is also determined to find the killer, though she tends to avoid asking bold questions of the male officers.
Maria, already having gathered cutouts from all the news about the serial killer, might assist Valentina by discreetly reviewing case files, interviewing witnesses, or analyzing evidence to uncover the killer’s true identity.
