## Synopsis

New students start school at Las Encinas as Guzmán continues to mourn his sister and Christian struggles with his secret. A classmate goes missing.

## Plot

**SPOILERS AHEAD**
A new student named Rebeka comes to town. She is from a poor family that quickly became wealthy, and they move into Guzmán's old house. Rebeka is to start school at Las Encinas. Guzmán and his family are upset at having to move, especially after Marina's death.

Guzmán struggles with Marina's death at school – especially when he sees Samuel, who is the brother of the accused killer of Marina. They get into a fight on the first day.

Valerio, Lu's reckless half-brother, is back in town much to Lu's dismay. She thinks she always has to keep tabs on him since he gets into trouble on a regular basis. Valerio loves to party and on the first day he invites everyone to go out clubbing at his VIP table at Teatro Barceló.

Everyone goes to the club, including Christian, who has been struggling with the secret about Nano and Polo, Marina's real murderer. Carla sees that Christian is struggling. She tried to keep him distracted on her yacht over the summer, but she can tell that she's losing him and that he wants to uncover the truth about Marina's murder to save his friend Nano from being jailed.

Nadia also goes to the club, along with Samuel and Rebeka. They all relax and have a fun time. Nadia even tries alcohol for the first time and lets her hair down.

Meanwhile, in the store, Nadia and Omar's dad has a serious stroke and is rushed to the hospital. Nadia doesn't hear what happened since her phone was switched off while she was at the club. Omar tells Ander what happened, and Ander rushes Nadia to the hospital to see her father. Ander embarrasses himself in front of Omar, Nadia and their mother, attempting to explain who he is and where Nadia was; he leaves humiliated.

Christian leaves the club and threatens to Carla to tell everything to the police. Carla texted her father earlier on, warning him that Christian might uncover her secret; he told her not to worry. Drunk and furious, Christian rides away on his motorcycle and gets hit by a car. He gets seriously injured as the car speeds away. In the hospital, his friends come to visit. Carla's father offers to send him to Switzerland for top medical care, at his expense. It is clear that this is a bribe for Christian to keep his mouth shut.

Lu drunkenly goes home with her half-brother, Valerio. They flirt and share one kiss. Lu pushes him away and reminds him that they promised each other this would never happen again because she is his sister. Valerio looks upset.

Throughout the episode, there are shots of a police search in the forest. They are looking for a missing student from Las Encinas, who was last seen in his uniform. They are all searching for him and calling out his name, revealing that Samuel is the missing person.
