Breaking Down the Twisty Ending of Netflix's Drama Delirium
On a quiet day in Bogotá in the early 1980s, university professor Fernando Aguilar (Juan Pablo Raba) returns from a short trip to find his wife, Agustina Londoño (Estefanía Piñeres), in the midst of a psychotic break. She's barricaded in a hotel room, disoriented and terrified, unable to explain what happened during the days he was away. There are no signs of violence, no visible trauma—only the disquieting certainty that something has shattered inside her. What begins as a psychiatric emergency soon unravels into a haunting exploration of family secrets, generational silence, and the blurred lines between madness and memory. This is the premise of Delirium, a Netflix psychological drama inspired by the internationally acclaimed novel Delirio by Colombian author Laura Restrepo. The eight-episode series, premiering July 18, unfolds against the backdrop of a politically turbulent Colombia. Delirium is both intimate and expansive—an unflinching look at mental illness, social hypocrisy, and the heavy burden of our unspoken traumas. According to showrunners Verónica Triana and Andrés Burgos, working on a period story offered a powerful opportunity to reflect on the present. 'Depicting how mental illness was addressed just over 40 years ago not only created moments rich in drama, but also serves as a clear contrast to highlight how far we've come—and how far we still have to go,' they tell TIME. 'Trauma, mental illness, and family secrets are universal themes that have always concerned our society. But today, we are beginning to name these illnesses, to understand them, and to ask for help when we need it.' Let's break down the major plot lines in Delirium. Madness in the Londoño family By Episode 6 of Delirium, Aguilar is still trying to understand what happened to his wife in a desperate bid to help her. His wife's aunt, Sofía—who arrived after receiving a call from Agustina saying she wasn't well—shares a story that spans generations of the Londoño family. Sofía is the sister of Agustina's mother, Eugenia, and they both grew up on the family's hacienda. As children, Eugenia and Sofía's father, Nicolás, began hearing strange noises and asked if anyone else heard them. 'Like a toothless old woman whispering in one ear, and in the other, a chair being dragged down the corridor,' he said. His wife, Blanca, attributed the sounds to tinnitus—a ringing in the ears—but Nicolás knew it was something else. As a pianist, he needed silence to compose and think, and he could only find that underwater. The next day, Eugenia told her father she had heard the sounds too. He simply replied: 'One day we're all going to die and stop hearing any sound.' Not long after, Blanca, the daughters, and Abel—Nicolás' piano student and secret lover—found his lifeless body in the farm's lake. Blanca forced her daughters to lie, saying their father had returned to France. From that point on, Eugenia began to lie compulsively, to the point of losing track of what was real. 'My father committed suicide. And we never spoke of it. And over time I understood what his relationship with Abel really was,' Sofía tells Aguilar. Delirium suggests that madness is in the Londoño blood. In a flashback in Episode 1, young Agustina gets her first period, and her mother warns her to stay away from men. 'And also be very careful with those tickles down there. I don't want you becoming like Aunt Ilse, my father's sister,' says Eugenia. Agustina asks if she's the aunt 'who went crazy.' Her mother responds yes: 'She didn't obey her parents and kept scratching herself all the time, in front of everyone. They had to tie her up and send her to an asylum. Madness enters from there. You don't know what has happened in this family,' Eugenia implies, linking sexuality with mental illness. The mental anguish in the family does not end there. Since childhood, Agustina has seen insects crawling on her skin that aren't really there. Her brother, Carlos Vicente Jr. (nicknamed Bichi), was beaten by their father for dressing like a girl, and Agustina believed she could heal his physical wounds. Though diagnoses and disorders are never mentioned by name, the series strongly implies that the Londoño family carries some hereditary mental disorder. Midas' criminal scheme The series flashes back to when Agustina was in school. Her brother Joaco became friends with Fredy Rodríguez—known as Midas—after he won a scholarship to the elite school Joaco attended. Midas and Agustina fall in love. As a teenager, Midas got involved with a trafficker and started a drug-smuggling and money-laundering operation targeting wealthy students. In early adulthood, he pitched an investment proposal to Joaco's father, joining him and other investors in the scheme. Trouble arises when one shipment is seized in Florida. Despite setbacks, Midas urges investors to continue, but some partners grow suspicious. A violent incident involves Araña, a paraplegic partner, who kills Jenny, a stripper and friend of Midas, by strangulation during a sexual act meant to secure investments. Midas kills Araña after a confrontation fueled by accusations of betrayal. The scheme unravels further when Midas and his partner Misterio—the trafficker Midas started working with in his teenage years—are ambushed by police; Misterio is killed and Midas escapes. Later, Joaco warns Midas that Jorge, another partner in the scheme, has turned him in, pushing Midas to go into hiding at the family farm. From here, the criminal plot becomes intertwined with Agustina's psychotic break. What caused Agustina's psychotic break? At the end of Episode 1, Aguilar returns from a trip with his children to find the house empty. Listening to a message on the answering machine, he learns Agustina is at the Hotel Wellington. In the background, he hears her screaming, 'He left me, f-ck him.' Before the trip, Aguilar explains to Agustina that he was traveling without her so he could better bond with his children, from his relationship with his ex, Marta. Initially, Agustina had thought she would be going with them. The truth behind her breakdown is revealed only in the final episode. Agustina regains clarity and seeks out Aguilar at his ex-wife's home—the place he went after Agustina asked him to leave during her psychotic episode. She recounts what happened. After Aguilar left with the children, Agustina spent her time painting a wall until her mother called, inviting her to a birthday celebration at the family farm. Despite their tension, Agustina went. There, she overheard Eugenia speaking with Joaco about her unhappiness with Midas' presence at the party. But Joaco insists they need Midas; the business is failing without him. He also mentions that her son and Agustina's other brother, Carlos—named after his father—has come back demanding his share of the inheritance. Carlos had run away in his youth after being beaten for being 'too feminine' and reemerged years later following their father's death. During the celebration, Agustina stands beside Midas while Joaco gives a speech praising their mother. He omits mention of Carlos and refers to Agustina as 'the special girl,' with a condescending tone. Agustina interrupts, saying that it was Aunt Sofía who cared for them, while their mother was busy with wine and pills. Their mother then introduces Joaco's girlfriend, Mariana, and says she wants grandchildren. At that point, Agustina reveals a trauma: she had become pregnant by Midas, but her mother forced her to terminate the pregnancy because he was not 'acceptable.' Later, once married to Aguilar, she lost another baby. 'Since he [Midas] is not an entrepreneur but a trafficker, he is good for money but not to father my child,' she says. She also accuses her brother of hiding the existence of their other brother, Carlos, because he is gay, and points to Mariana as their mother's 'last hope.' The argument ends only when Joaco tells his sister, 'Thank God you never became a mother.' This sets off a psychotic break for Augustina. She sees insects crawling on her body and in the party food, hears voices mocking her, and believes everyone is laughing at her. Midas takes her to the Hotel Wellington, but since he is on the run, he can't stay, so he leaves a henchman in charge of calling Aguilar so he can come pick her up. How does Delirium end? After learning the truth, Agustina tells her husband he can talk to Midas, who is hiding at his mother's house. Aguilar finds him hooded, leaving a market with fruits and vegetables. Noticing he is being followed, Midas turns and asks about Agustina. Aguilar replies, 'Today she is better.' Midas is relieved and asks if Aguilar needs anything. Aguilar declines. Midas asks him to take care of Agustina, then disappears. Back at home, Aguilar smiles at Agustina. The couple kisses and, for a moment, peace seems restored. But now Aguilar knows: Agustina is flawed—'not perfect'—with broken pieces, as she narrates in the closing moments of the series. 'The process of preparing Agustina's character was led by directors Julio Jorquera and Rafael Martínez. Julio was very wise in pointing out that madness is not something one can rehearse, which threw all the team—especially Estefanía—into a kind of vertigo and delirium that felt necessary for this production. The idea was to discover and surprise ourselves throughout the process, something that's not easy to achieve within a production system where efficiency is valued just as much as content,' the showrunners say. 'It wasn't easy for her. But I believe that arriving on set without a fixed plan allowed for the spontaneity we were seeking. Letting go of preconceived ideas about what madness is or how it should be portrayed was key for all of us.'

Tom Brady's Rep Denied He Said Sofía Vergara Is 'Too Old' For Him
It sounds like Tom Brady wants no drama, especially not with Sofía Vergara. For context, on July 1, Sofía posted a sweet picture on Instagram showing her and Tom hanging out on Ritz-Carlton's new megayacht, Luminara, off the coast of Europe recently. A few days later, an anonymous source suggested to Page Six that the two were having a bit of a 'summer romance,' alleging that Tom 'asked to switch seats to sit next to her at dinner.' Tom divorced from Gisele Bündchen in late 2022, while Sofía parted ways with Joe Manganiello in 2023, so the idea of a fling between the pair isn't out of the question (and would actually be kind of fun, IMO). However, things got a little weird this week when a bizarre report from the Daily Mail alleged that Tom, 47, feels that Sofía, 53, is too old for him. 'He sees Sofía as beautiful and his type, but he isn't going to start a relationship with her as she is older and stuck in her ways,' the report alleged. 'He knows he could only take her in small doses.' Obviously, the source quotes are pretty weird and unflattering. And, so it'll come as no surprise to hear that Tom's representative wasted no time shutting the whole thing down. In a statement provided to People on July 10, Tom's rep said he 'would never' say that he thinks Sofía is 'too old' for him, describing the quotes as 'pure fiction.' 'Tom never said, nor would he ever say, anything like this,' his rep continued. Sofía hasn't addressed the situation, although it sounds like she probably doesn't need to. I have to wonder if we'll see these two hanging out again anytime soon…

'No way he's going to get serious with a 53-year-old': Tom Brady dating Sophie Vergara rumors ignite online chaos
Tom Brady and Sofia Vergara Dating Buzz Met with Both Cheers and Clapbacks (Image via Getty) For once, the drama isn't on the football field or in a courtroom, it's on a yacht in Ibiza. Yep, Tom Brady and Sofía Vergara are now at the center of some seriously chaotic dating rumors, and while fans are mostly unbothered (or deeply entertained), one bizarre detail lit the internet on fire: a claim that Brady thinks Sofía is 'too old. ' Spoiler alert, his team shut that all the way down. The yacht photos were spicy but the internet's reaction to one weird rumor was even hotter It all started with a luxury yacht. Brady and Vergara were both spotted enjoying a vacation aboard the Ritz-Carlton's swanky superyacht Luminara . According to Page Six, Brady even asked to switch seats to sit closer to Sofía during a group dinner. That was all fans needed to spiral into 'summer fling' speculation, dubbing the duo the hottest unexpected couple of 2025. But then came the mess. A tabloid claimed that Brady wasn't pursuing Sofía seriously because she was "too old for him," reportedly confusing her age as 53 (she's actually 51). That alone would've caused chaos but then Brady's rep clapped back hard. Tom Brady's camp wasn't having it: 'He never said that. Nor would he ever.' Within hours, a rep for Brady spoke to multiple outlets, including Page Six and People , calling the claim 'pure fiction.' They doubled down, saying: 'He never said that. Nor would he ever.' It was a full-on PR flag plant, no age-shaming here, thank you very much. And to be fair, Brady's track record says the same. His ex-wife Gisele Bündchen is 44. Irina Shayk, another rumored flame, is 38. And Sofía? One of the most iconic, confident, and successful women in Hollywood. Fans weren't buying the insult anyway. Fans flipped the script and roasted the entire idea The timeline quickly turned the 'too old' rumor into a punchline. Most fans were more focused on Brady's absurd dating resume than nitpicking ages. One X user wrote: 'No way he's going to get serious with a 53 year old' Another joked: 'Bro's gotta be entered into Guinness for longest active win streak.' Even those skeptical of the dating rumors had one thing to say, age isn't (and shouldn't be) the headline. And anyone trying to turn it into one? Fans were not amused. Tom Brady and Sofía Vergara Dating Rumor Sparks Age-Drama and a Fan Frenzy. It's giving GOAT energy and fans think Sofía is exactly that too If this really is a summer romance, most people are living for it. It's rare to see two A-listers who've both been through public divorces possibly finding joy post-breakup, and Sofía has been glowing since her split from Joe Manganiello. As for Brady? Whether he's actually dating her or just enjoying yacht life, the man is clearly thriving. Fans have declared him the GOAT of everything, not just football, but vibes, vacations, and apparently dating icons over 50. Brady's team handled it fast, Sofía looked unbothered (as always), and fans got another reason to meme this summer into oblivion. Whether they're dating or not, the message is clear, don't come for Sofía Vergara's age. Ever.

Sofía Vergara Sunbathing Topless for International Bikini Day
Literally not a day goes by where I don't open my phone to yet another celebrity on a yacht without me, and Sofía Vergara is the latest in an absolute parade of famous people lounging in Europe this summer. The Modern Family alum posted a video of herself sunbathing topless in a thong while in Ibiza, which she captioned "Happy internacional bikini day from Ibiza😂😂😂." Unclear where her bikini is from, but it appears to be a white two piece. Though the top is obviously off, to tell! If you're wondering who Sofía is with on this fabulous vacation, unclear—though she appears to have spent time with Kendall Jenner, Nina Dobrev, and Ricky Martin—not to mention a bunch of other celebrities—for the launch of a new luxury ship called Luminara. At least based on her sharing this post to her Stories! TBD if Sofía brought a plus one on board, but she appears to be single following her divorce from Joe Manganiello and her more recent split from orthopedic surgeon Justin Saliman. Sofía opened up about what she's looking for in her next relationship on the Today Show, saying (per People) "I want to say the basic stuff, like health and somebody that loves me. And somebody tall, handsome. I want somebody that has as much money as me or more, because if not, it's a nightmare. They end up resenting you." Words to live by.
