Trivia

 * In this version, the original plan of the zorro to destroy the trains works, because in the legend of the zorro, alejandro should abort this, as armand has to elena and joaquin as hostages, putting their lives in jeopardize if alejandro allows the nitroglicerin explodes.
 * The reason to joaquin wasn't affected by the chemical when he grabbed the brassiere is because when the chemical is "programmed", it get focused in the opposite genre of the user, making that the chemical used in elena, only works with women, not men.
 * The role of elena in this alternate version is similar to the role of other characters from other franchise: Jill valentine from resident evil retribution and optimus prime of transformers the last knight. Because the three protagonist gets mind controlled by the main antagonist (armand/red queen/quintessa), and they are forced to works with the villains for most of the story, and they only get free from the control to the final part of their stories.
