Jimena, pressured by Salgado, threatens to take the hardware store away from her father, just now that they had begun to rebuild the family business between Tirso, Santi and Irene. In addition, Tirso is still obsessed with finding out who raped his granddaughter. Determined to get that information out of Yeyo, Tirso accidentally gets into the middle of a police operation. On the other hand, Nelson is detained and it seems that he will spend many years in prison.

The police have evicted the drug store. Tirso and his friends celebrate at the bar.
