Maria wanders through the inhospitable steppe. She flees Madrid, accompanying Fausta out of the capital so as not to have to return home.

Maria needs money to pay her new lawyer. She is forced to turn to the world to which she had sworn never to return: advertising. This hostile situation makes her relive her beginnings.

With no change of clothes, no money, desperate and very sweaty, María arrives in Torrevieja. She set out to fulfil her promise and continues in her endeavour.

María makes one last attempt to be social again and goes to a party. Clinging to her faith and her prayers to Santa Teresa, she tries to fight the demons that come her way, but it is not that easy.

María, half aware of what it means to meet with Santiago's son, tries to find any excuse not to go to the date. Finally, motivated to confess, she goes to the meeting.

After three years, María is released from prison and will have to face reintegration. She makes a promise to one of her fellow prisoners, which she will try to keep however she can. She will fight her fears by praying to be guided by Saint Teresa.

María is overwhelmed by guilt, but she decides not to share it with anyone. She tries to return to her routine, but she only has one name on her mind: Santiago Aguirre.

María continues her work in a haunted house at a fair; Yasmín escapes from her house when she finds out about an upcoming visit; María starts using drugs again when she feels under a lot of pressure.
