Alex tries to convince Lucia to stop taking drugs, but she refuses, wanting to forget everything. Despite their growing attraction, Lucia's rebellious nature and Alex's controlling tendencies create tension in their relationship.
Charro, elated that Moncho is dead, is unaware that he didn't order the hit. Lupita, while happy that her son has been avenged, struggles to move on. She continues to visit his grave and sleep in his room, which annoys Charro. When he attempts to force himself on her, Alex intervenes, further infuriating Charro.

David is curious about the murder and even questions Emiliano about his involvement, but Emiliano denies any wrongdoing.
