I'm pretty sure Pol was thinking Bruno while having sex with Efra. He said it himself he misses Bruno and after that he haves a passionate sex with a guy he just met? Pol wouldn't open himself that easily.

I was surprised by how quickly and easily Pol fell into bed with Efre. I think we should consider the possibility that he is gay. If you look at the progression of his attitude towards gay sex over the three seasons, he went from major homophobic reaction to his first encounter with Bruno (which he initiated) to being casually seductive towards Bruno to now having spontaneous, passionate sex with a guy whom he's just met. Where does he go from here? If he is also in love with Bruno, which seems very possible - if not likely, well, that's an awful lot of gayness from a guy who is supposedly obsessed with women. I think it's possible his hyper-heterosexual persona is just a front and he is deeply in denial about his true self. He wouldn't be the first closeted homosexual to try to overcompensate with women. And by Pol's own admission, he never develops feelings for the women he gets involved with. Interesting that the theme of the episode in which he slept with Efre was finding your true inner self. I think they will pair Pol up with Bruno at the end. When people look back at the story of Pol and Bruno, they may think of it as a story of two very different types of gay men finding each other. Or he could be bi, denying that part of himself for so long, and focusing on his attraction to women to hide the other aspect of his sexuality. I think either is a possibility.

We shouldn't be so quick to dismiss bisexuality

I think this was more of a substitution for Bruno. As to whether he is gay or bi, so far it looks like bi. But it is not entirely clear because of the lack of committed relationships with girls.

It seemed to me that Pol was just horny and found Efra to be sexy and they were attracted to each other so they had sex. Some people are just very comfortable being sexual (for love or lust) and it doesn't have to mean he is longing for Bruno. They were eye sexing each other from the moment they met. Some people don't spend a lot of time trying to categorize themselves they just do what they feel like doing. Maybe Pol is just getting more comfortable with going with his desire when it comes to me.

Maybe Pol is just getting more comfortable with going with his desire when it comes to me. That is exactly the point, the instant sex lock of their eyes and the smooth progression into bed would only happen for a gay or bi dude. If he were proper straight none of it would have happened. No sexy eye lock, no passionate pawing at each other and kissing. It would either have been a long time friendship getting an "experimental" turn, or a simple utilitarian BJ where he could imagine being with someone else.

Ah, yes! Finally a blip on the Pol/Bruno storyline. Was wondering how long they would leave us hanging!! How many episodes in S3? I hope (and highly suspect) that Bruno and Pol will end up together - and their last scene, as it began, will be their first and (for us) last dance. Can't wait.

I think RKFanvidder answered that in one of the comments and I believe they said 14 episodes.

I've been re-watching the first season on Netflix. Observing Pol, knowing where he's headed sexually, really makes his ultra-hetero persona look like an act. All the other straight guys just walk around being straight, but Pol has to constantly be reminding everyone how very into women he is. He overdoes it. Would he be driven to do so much overcompensating if his attraction to men was merely in addition to his attraction to women? I'm not so sure. He might be bi, but I think the evidence is starting to suggest he has a bigger secret.
If Pol is going to end up with Bruno, he's going to have to come out to the gang as a guy who enjoys sex with men - a guy who can fall in love with another man. I don't think Bruno will settle for a secret boyfriend. That's going to be a HUGE step for Pol. Probably Merli will have to help him with it. Or maybe Efre will out Pol when Pol inevitably dumps him. Either way, the gang is going to be shocked, especially the guys. Regardless of whether Pol is bi or gay, he's going to have to commit to a man. That's going to appear gay to the gang and to the audience. Perhaps the show will try to suggest Pol is just fluid, but if Pol and Bruno end up together and in love, their story is basically a gay love story.
The 14th episode of the this season is scheduled to be broadcast on Christmas Day. I suspect all the drama will be wrapped up by that point and the 14th episode will be mainly scenes of all our favorite Merli characters celebrating Christmas together.

The only person Pol seems to care about is himself. I am sorry but people are reaching with this whole thing between him and Bruno.

Pol said he is in love with that poor girl. I guess he moved on from Bruno

Yeah, now I'm not quite so sure what's going to happen. They are sending mixed signals about Pol, perhaps deliberately to keep us guessing. If Pol is in love with Tania, why was his mind on Bruno during the obvious moment on that bed to start things up with her? And why did the writers have him sleep with Efre soon afterwards? Interesting, too, that it never occurred to Pol that he had feelings for Tania until Efre suggested he does - and after Efre had assumed he was gay. I'm not sure where the story is going, but it does seem clear that Pol's pansexuality is going to play a role in its outcome. How would Tania feel about having a boyfriend who likes to sleep with guys? Perhaps she will stumble upon a compromising moment between Pol and Efre. Efre's role in the story intrigues me. The abrupt addition to the story of a new male sexual outlet for Pol suggests Pol's sexuality is going to be a big part of what's coming. I think Efre is being positioned by the writers to be a truth-teller and confidant to Pol in matters regarding his sexuality. Is Pol still going to want sex from Efre despite supposedly being in love with Tania? And will Efre get to view Pol and Bruno interacting later in the season? What will he make of that? I still think that, mainly because it's what so many of the fans want, the show is likely to leave things with at least the possibility that Pol and Bruno will be together. Which means, they at least won't close off the possibility by hooking him up with a woman. Who is having sex in the final scenes of that clip? It looks like Tania and Marc. Bad news for Pol-Tania, I assume.

Tania has loved Marc from the start of the series. It's only a bad decision by her if Marc does not share her feelings. He seems to me to be a lot less risky choice for her than Pol, who is likely to cheat on her with men. But how does she come to be sleeping with Marc when she seemed so into Pol in that last episode? Something must happen that puts her off Pol. Perhaps she walks in on him and Efre.

I think Tania got all she needed so as not to proceed developing anything with Pol. When he trashed her in front of his fiends it was enough for her to retaliate with the cake in the face, and to turn away from him, and apparently shut down any doubt she might have had about going with Marc. In his statement of love for Tania he does not seem to be that honest. It seems to be a counter reaction to Efre's mild confrontation over Pol defining his sexuality. It is a compensating outward step to counter the unwanted internal realization. A step in avoidance of self acceptance and perhaps to throw off any suspicions his brother might have.

But when Tania came to see Pol at the grocery store, it seemed she was back to being interested in him. Something destroys that renewed interest, it seems. Perhaps Tania learns Marc does have feelings for her and chooses him over Pol. Or perhaps she does see Pol with Effre. Either one of those would be a big crisis for Pol. I read a rumor that Bruno returns earlier than expected. Perhaps it will be Bruno's return that short-circuits Pol's "love" for Tania.

Must not have been a deep love Pol had for Tania since he traded it away like a baseball card. And now it's clear why Tania and Marc hooked up. They're embracing their authentic life. Is Pol ready to embrace his? Bruno's return feels imminent to me.

First image of Bruno back on Merli. Not sure what episode this happens in. Maybe the most recent one. Seems like he's coming back in time to be part of a story arc. We'll see...

Yeah, someone on Reddit said Bruno shows up just as Pol and Tania begin a relationship. I don't quite understand how Tania is sleeping with Pol right after sleeping with Marc. She doesn't seem the type to jump from bed to bed. Also, why did the writers have her and Marc hookup just before this Pol-Tania thing? And why did they insert Pol-Efre as a prelude as well? Perhaps all of this makes it easier for Pol to ditch Tania for Bruno. Perhaps the show is playing musical chairs with who ends up with whom at the end. (And perhaps nobody ends up with anyone - everything is left open to possibility at the end.) In any case, Bruno looks SUPER HOT!! Pol is going to be tempted at least, I think. It would be interesting if the first time we (and maybe Pol) see Bruno again, he's naked. Definitely setting him up as an object of sexual allure.

LMAO...tbh, Pol love storyline is a mess at this point. I hope Bruno's return will change that. They also made Tania storyline make no sense at all ><....well, maybe we need a context to know more about this fucked up situation
