The eighth episode of "Neon" transports viewers back to 2014, where Ness is planning her quinceañera. Her excitement turns to despair when her parents oppose her wish to dance with her girlfriend. Stepping up, Santi crafts a plan ensuring the couple gets their dance, showcasing his consistent support for Ness. Fast forward to the present, Ness and Felix's resentment towards Santi remains.

Meanwhile, Santi and Isa are engrossed in New Year show preparations. Isa's overbearing attitude and insistence on reshaping the song draw parallels to Sharpay from High School Musical. Her constant taunts, particularly about Santi staying in her guest house, serve as a wake-up call for him.

However, the show preparations take a twist when Isa's assistant announces Javier's unexpected inclusion in the New Year's lineup. With Javier's music-magic act, other familiar faces like Felix, Ness, and Mia also make their appearance.

Does the rift between the friends heal? Indeed, Santi realizes his missteps, offering heartfelt apologies to both Ness and Felix. Recognizing his genuine remorse, the two decide to join forces with him once more. But, before moving forward, Santi must confront Isa.

And what about Isa and Santi's equation? When Santi musters the courage to end things with Isa, she blackmails him with a compromising photo of him with Celeste. She vows to tarnish both their reputations if Santi doesn't join her for the New Year's performance.

At the much-anticipated event, a distressed Santi confides in Celeste about Isa's threats, revealing his determination to shield both his reputation and hers. But Santi doesn't stay down for long; he partners with Javier's magic act and reclaims the stage, performing "Corillo" in its authentic version and admitting his recent deviations. Isa's fury is palpable, leading her to team up with BPM in a lawsuit against Santi.

Where does this leave Mia? A reinvigorated Mia rejoins the trio. Recognizing her invaluable contributions, they unite to bring Javier's envisioned performance to life. Their combined efforts result in a spectacular New Year's performance, culminating in a romantic moment between her and Felix, suggesting a budding romance for the show.

How does the "Neon" chapter conclude? The series' finale sees the close-knit trio reflecting on their future from a rooftop. Legal battles loom with Isa and BPM, and they are burdened with a hefty debt to Gina. Just when things appear bleak, a call from music icon Daddy Yankee offers Santi a glimmer of hope.

Though somewhat anticipated, the climax still packs a punch, particularly with Santi's riveting performance. Isa's audacity to assert ownership over the song and falsely represent Santi's experiences to the media showcases her duplicitous nature. Fans will be eager to see how the lawsuit unfolds, especially if a sequel is in the works.

In conclusion, "Neon" has been a whirlwind journey. We'd love to hear your standout celebrity appearances from the series and tunes that had you grooving. Your feedback is always cherished!
