Almost every literary work contains some sort of central conflict. This conflict could be a life or death situation, someone missing a valuable item, or any other problem that has occurred. In "Bienvenidos a Edén", I recognize this confict as the idea that the islanders aren't going to be going home. Although all of the new islanders ask when the boat will arrive to take them home, one of them in particular is persistent with asking. Aldo is a very perceptive secondary character that can sense that something is not quite right with Edén. The answers that people are giving him aren't the answers he is looking for, but rather they are trying to convince him that nothing is wrong. When Ulises tells them that their boat will finally arrive, they proceed to throw a party to celebrate. When Aldo notices a small boat off the coast of Edén, he breaks away from the party and swims to it and stows away until the morning. When he climbs to the top of the boat, Brenda is waiting with her favorite weapon, a device that can stab a hole through someone's head. This is the first time the audience gets to experience just how far Edén will go to keep what it is doing a secret to the outside world. They would rather kill one of the workers than risk him finding a way to escape and warning the public of what it is they are doing. The fact that the islanders would kill Aldo puts them on the lower end of the moral spectrum. We begin to grow hatred towards Edén which is ironic considering its name is derived from the "Garden of Eden", a garden from the bible in which Adam and Eve lived which is considered a religious paradise. As with most things I hate, I grew curious to see what happens to them and that is exactly what the writers were going for. Fully captivated by the plot, I began to watch the rest of the series waiting for vengeance.

When the visitors wake up in the morning, they grow more and more concerned when they can't seem to find Aldo. After looking around, they remember that he had snuck away from the party because he was going to try and escape. When his absence was brought to Ulises' attention, he didn't seem to care and simply waived it off. This made them angry, but especially Zoa and Charly in particular. While this was going on, Astrid and the "links" were going around and getting the new islanders to sign contracts to live in Edén permanently. Alma had convinced Ibón to sign the contract, and Erick and Astrid were working on manipulating África to sign as well. With 2 of the now 4 visitors becoming members, they begin to hide less and less about what is actually going on. This is also the same time that Gabi is growing worrisome about Zoa missing and she begins to explore what actually happened. I would consider Gabi to be the B plot of the show because what she does is pretty important relative to the rest of the population and is more relatable than other parts of the show. If I was in Gabi's situation, I would also be looking into what exactly "Edén" is and what happened to my sister. Gabi's plot at this point in the show also raises the conflict of what actually happened to her sister. The writers and director did a great job making these two different plotlines have conflicts that not only coincide with each other, but also directly relate to the other. Gabi is trying to figure out why Zoa isn't returning home and Zoa is trying to figure out why Edén won't let her go home.
