5. Will Lila Return?

It was pretty clear from the offset that Lila was being set up to be a love interest for Diego, but in a refreshing story move, she turned out to be so much more than that.

A member of the Commission, the adoptive daughter of The Handler and, ultimately one of the who-knows-how-many babies born on October 1, 1989, she was more linked to the main narrative than most of us suspected. That didn't, however, take away from the clear chemistry she had with Diego.

Though the family stopped her from doing something she'd regret, offering her the home she never really had in the first place, she absconded with the briefcase - something that Diego willingly allowed to happen because he loves her.

I don't know about you, but it seems like the show's not done with her yet. Whether she plays as big a role next season remains to be seen, but it's important that the end of her ties to The Handler does not remove her from the equation completely. More Lila is a good thing.
