Romero, in his forced alliance with Vicente, tries to help him locate Tato before Verónica finds him. The judge also has a strong argument with Álex, who seeks refuge at Alba's house. The two young people end up kissing, oblivious to the fact that Pilar knows that Álex is Romero's son, whom she believes guilty of running over Hugo.

Romero, with the help of Carmen, plans to set a trap for Vicente to stop him and save Álex, who is still hidden and protected by Pilar. The judge, however, does not have another problem that could ruin everything he has done so far to protect his son: Verónica. The inspector is getting closer to discovering the truth about the accident.
