The triumphant return of Guillermo Francella in the new episode of El encargado.

In the most recent episode of "El encargado," titled 3x04, the acclaimed dark comedy on Disney Plus, the charismatic Guillermo Francella not only reaffirms his prowess as an actor but also brings back the tension and humor that had been lacking in previous chapters. The series, created by Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat, had been affected by a third episode that left much to be desired, but now, with a more intriguing plot and unexpected twists, it successfully re-engages its audience. Eliseo, the protagonist played by Francella, finds himself at a crossroads as he tries to boost his company, Soluciones Integrales Basurto (SIB), which aims to recruit other managers to join his peculiar project. The difficulty of convincing his colleagues to leave their "stable" jobs becomes a central point of the episode, showcasing Eliseo's struggle between his desire to succeed and the reality of workplace and emotional resistance. One of the standout elements of this chapter is the reunion dinner between Eliseo and his ex-wife, Clarita, portrayed by Claudia Fontán. Their relationship is complex, marked by a love story that failed to flourish due to "strong reasons." The conversation about their past sexual life turns into a chance for redemption for Eliseo, who embarks on an exploration of tantric sex with the help of his neighbor Nacho, a character who brings both humor and wisdom to the situation. The dinner, presented as an opportunity to restore old ties, becomes a scenario charged with comedic tension when the late elderly woman Beba, played by Pochi Ducasse, appears at the most unexpected moments, interrupting and adding a touch of hilarity to the situation. The dynamic between Eliseo, Clarita, and the intruders in the room creates a perfect cocktail of laughter and confusion that keeps the viewer glued to the screen. As the plot unfolds, Eliseo also seeks to attract new collaborators for his company. However, the recruitment approach varies with each case. With Quico, played by José María Listorti, the negotiation seems simpler, but not without complications. Quico, a tennis teacher struggling to balance his responsibilities, is tempted by Eliseo's offer, which promises him an escape from his monotonous work life. The tennis game becomes the setting where competition and friendship intertwine, creating an environment ripe for new opportunities to arise. On the other hand, Martucha, played by Mónica Raiola, poses a more complicated challenge for Eliseo. Her initial rejection tests the protagonist's patience as he attempts to woo her with memories of his late friend Beba. As the plot develops, the interaction between them transforms, leading Martucha to reconsider her decision and open up to a possible agreement that could benefit them both. The dark comedy thrives on absurd situations and unexpected twists. Episode 3x04 manages to balance moments of deep reflection on past relationships with the irreverent humor that characterizes the series. Thus, when Eliseo finally has his date with Clarita, expectations are high, and the outcome feels both logical and surprising, hinting that old wounds do not heal easily. The culminating scene, which involves a mix of intimacy and vulnerability, is interrupted by Eliseo's emotional coldness, as he chooses to reject the possibility of a new bond. The phrase "revenge is a dish best served cold" resonates strongly, suggesting that despite the desires for reconnection, Eliseo remains trapped in his old patterns of behavior. Ultimately, the episode not only highlights Francella's mastery but also the production team's skill in crafting a story that combines laughter, nostalgia, and a touch of drama. The series reaffirms itself as one of the most interesting offerings in streaming in Argentina, promising the audience more surprises and twists in the upcoming episodes. With a narrative that continues to evolve, "El encargado" demonstrates that even in its less brilliant moments, there is always room for reinvention and humor, maintaining its relevance in a competitive landscape.
