Lucía returns to her hometown in Raia Seca to report on the major forest fire that has ravaged Portugal and Galicia. Her return to the village is not well received by the neighbors, as Lucía is the daughter of Afonso, "the Fire Starter," the arsonist who allegedly destroyed the local forest more than two decades ago, causing the death of a child, the daughter of the current mayor, Iolanda.
 

Júlio considers reporting the "robbery" and the threat, but Lucía explains that what was taken was something she wasn't supposed to have in her possession. She tells him for the first time about the documents that someone sent her, and asks Júlio if it was him. Júlio denies it. They are documents from the Spanish police that the GNR did not have access to. Whoever gave her the documents must have been someone from Salgueiro's team.
