Acclaimed surgeon Paweł Prus prepares for a long-awaited promotion, but his son's near-fatal scrape with a bully threatens everything.

After a failed attempt to confess his actions to Anna, Pawel takes a trip to Lodz to cover his tracks. Later, a visit with Kamila shines new light on Arek's troubled home life.

Pawel exchanges terse words with a patient, sparking a conversation with the Professor. While a suspicious Anna finally confronts her husband, Kamila turns to an unlikely source for advice on her son's predicament.

Anna seeks answers when her husband doesn't come home after drinking. Pawel later faces his distant father, while Krystian offers unusual advice.

After a concerned citizen steps in, Kamila realizes that Pawel may be involved in her son's disappearance. Reeling from a seeming betrayal, Arek takes a stand against his captor.
