What happened on Love is Blind: Mexico episode 8: Details explored
The eighth episode of Love is Blind: Mexico picked up right where the previous episode ended, with Mafer’s entry. Seeing her, Gerardo was surprised because his fiance, Fernanda, wasn’t at the reunion when Mafer came.
"I mean, Fernanda chooses not to be here, and then what do you know?" shared Gerardo in confession.
Mafer confessed that she was “most nervous” about meeting Gerardo.
"I didn’t expect anything to happen with him, it was more like, “Look what you missed. Redhead, 5’9, super cool." Mafer added.
Gerardo then told Francesca that he was texting Fernanda. Francesca told him, "She’s a snake in the grass," referring to Mafer. Later, when everyone was gathered around the table, they started discussing how Mafer had written a song for Gerardo and insisted on her singing it.
Mafer then sang the song she had written for Gerardo. Later that night, Gerardo had a private conversation with Mafer as he wanted to:
"Talk to her so that we can leave what happened in the pods behind us."
Mafer told Gerardo that she was “really excited” about him and that she doesn’t normally fall for people “that hard.” Gerardo replied that it was nice meeting her.
Fernanda, who decided to stay home, shared in the confessional that she needed to take time for herself. When Gerardo returned home, she asked how Mafer was. Gerardo told Fernanda that she could have come, but she said she wasn’t feeling good.

"I’m just thrilled. To think that you may be the love of my boy’s life."
Marisela later confessed that she was very close to Gerardo and had a private chat with Fernanda, during which she asked Fernanda how she "honestly" felt about Gerardo. Fernanda shared that she was excited and happy and also added that even though things were happening quite quickly, she could see the potential they had to build something together.
