Mencía starts suspecting something's wrong when she sees bruises in Sara's body while showering at school, saying that nothing is amiss and that Raúl does truly love her despite having to put up with his behavior, but she is still determined to help free her from that endless cycle of abuse, recalling the traumatic experience she had with Armando when he blackmailed and abused her.

Trivia[]
- Sara attacked Iván and the crime was covered up by Raúl, just like how Polo attacked Marina and Carla Rosón covered it.
- Polo hitting Marina with a trophy.
- Sara driving over Iván while driving Mencía.
- Sara became the most hated character in the entire show due to the hypocritical way she treated Isadora and Chloe for the similar traumas they have went through (Isadora being raped by Hugo, Javier and Alex, and Chloe being assaulted by Raúl), despite having experienced them before. She was even harshly criticized for how she defended her abuser. The subplot about Sara avenging Raúl didn't do her any favours. Although in Isadora's case, she found the truth from Dídac and she at least had the decency to feel remorseful for harassing her.
- The difference is that the victim, Marina, is dead.
- This resembles that scene in The Great Gatsby when Daisy Buchanan also did the same thing to Myrtle Wilson, George Wilson's wife and the mistress Tom Buchanan (who's also Daisy's husband).
- The differences are that:
- Myrtle died from the accident unlike Iván who survived.
- Gatsby wanted to take the fall to protect Daisy, Sara, on the other hand, didn't want to get caught. So she called her boyfriend Raúl, who coerced her into making Mencía the scapegoat with no remorse, and she is even let to think that she was the one who caused it to due to being drugged by Raúl earlier in a final attempt to drive her away from Sara.
- Although Tom and Raúl are the main antagonists in the sixth season of Elite and The Great Gatsby, only Raúl knows that she caused Iván's accident and willingly covers it up to protect his girlfriend (ironically in a same manner as Gatsby for Daisy) while Tom is unaware of the truth and the first person he suspects is Gatsby since the car that killed Myrtle belongs to him.
- Mencía didn't have a driving license unlike Daisy.
- Mencía got framed for Iván's accident, but was spared from legal trouble thanks to Ari and their rich father Benjamín, who used his influences to get her off the hook. But Gatsby is not that lucky since he was born in poverty and used a fake name. In addition, Gatsby is killed by George for Myrtle's death, which he falsely took the blame for, while Mencía survived, with her and her family moving out of the country to start over.
