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.

Caronte is sent to prison, accused of murdering Toni after Paniagua had staged the whole thing to frame him. Marta gets down to work and, with Aurelio’s help, collects different pieces of evidence to convince the judge the commissioner had set it all up. Just when Caronte believed he’d lost all contact with Natalia, his ex reappears in Madrid to talk to him.
