Manuela and Alba, now known as Paloma, have to come to terms with Manuela's flawed past as they seek her family's help; the town criticises Yolanda and Lucho when the truth about Alba's abuse comes to light.

Manuela informs everyone that Paloma is her daughter, which comes as a huge shock, especially to Héctor, her ex-boyfriend; Yolanda and Lucho arrive in Madrid.

Manuela's family continue to doubt Paloma's true origin; Manuela locates her biological mother; the commissioner suspects a connection between Alba's disappearance and Manuela's departure.
