Caronte is told the unwelcome news that Jorge López has escaped during his transfer to prison. Meanwhile, a new defendant comes knocking at Caronte’s door. Tomás is an old friend from his time inside, who has been refused several release permits and is unable to see his wife Sara or his eight-year-old step-daughter, Luna.

Caronte is attempting to recover from the blow over Tomás’ case when Marta comes to him with a new investigation. This time, a pensioner named Gloria has been accused of stabbing Bosco, the maintenance man in her block of flats. At home, Natalia looks after Kolya for a few hours and discovers Caronte’s neighbour, Irina, is a prostitute.

Natalia returns to Gijón with the hope that Caronte will soon join her, but the lawyer’s impressive performance in court has rewarded him with a new case. Jennifer is a prostitute who stands accused of killing a client in a brothel while they were engaged in sexual activity. Aurelio goes to the precinct’s warehouse and discovers the pistol which killed Jorge was seized from the Russian mafia.

Following the controversial Adeyemi case, Marta and Caronte defend some of the former’s acquaintances, Adela and Rosa, a mother and daughter accused of hiding a body in the wall of their nursery. The investigation will reveal dark secrets which even Adela herself was unaware of. After Natalia’s tragic loss, she decides to return home to Gijón to distance herself from all that’s happened.

The split with Natalia leaves Caronte at a low point. He wants to give free reign to his emotions and take revenge on Paniagua, but Aurelio stops him in time. In court, Caronte and Marta tackle a controversial case in which Ana, a poor girl, has accused a group of boys from well-off families of rape.
