Caronte’s sister Paula gets beaten up by her husband Rodrigo, who then runs off. Despite refusing to do so at first, Paula eventually reports him and Aurelio tells Caronte about what happened. Caronte moves his sister and his niece, Irene, into his home and helps them throughout the reporting process, although Paula comes up against an aggressive judge who refuses to believe her.

After the accident and after being discharged from hospital, Caronte takes care of Natalia, worried about the baby’s health. Meanwhile, the lawyer teams up with Marta on Adeyemi’s case, a sub-Saharan immigrant accused of stealing the chalice from the village parish, something which he strongly denies. The lawyer is also concerned about the disappearance of the gun he stole from Paniagua.
