The hospital's privatization ushers in a new supervisor and pushes the staff closer to the edge, as Patricia and Jésica battle between life and death. The Joaquín Sorolla is now a privately managed hospital, challenging the convictions and principles of its doctors. Beyond getting her own way, Patricia continues to battle cancer while growing closer to Néstor. Jésica is trying to regain her trademark confidence but finds herself torn between Lluís and Biel. Pilar continues to deal with her son's addictions, though Quique will find an unexpected ally in her when the hospital's new management forces him to make a questionable decision. Adding to the turmoil is the arrival of a renowned oncologist, Sophie, determined to turn the hospital upside down.
