Luciano is surprised by Aitana's arrival at the Lizárraga ranch, as she is not the nurse he had chosen to care for his mother, and he fears she will cause problems in the family. Larisa can hardly wait to announce her engagement to Luciano in front of the whole family, although Belinda is not very happy to have her as a stepmother. Aitana tries to run away when she sees Zacarías arrive, as he is the only one capable of recognizing her and ruining her plans. Thanks to Lobo's keen sense of smell, Zacarías is even more certain that Aitana is, in fact, Adriana and confronts her for lying to him.
Faced with Zacarías's insistence, Aitana is forced to confess that she is in fact Adriana and reveals the reasons why she hates the Lizárraga brothers so much. Luciano feels compelled to demand that his brothers stay away from Aitana, stating that they cannot afford to risk their mother's recovery. Noticing Zacarías's change of attitude, Aitana demands that he pretend not to know anything about her story, as this would jeopardize her plans to seek justice. Aitana's pain moves Zacarías to such an extent that he begs her to abandon her suffering so she can live a full life, but she assures him that she has nothing more to offer him.

Aitana confesses to Zacarías the reason why she hates Luciano more than her brothers: he was responsible for the attack she suffered.
Luciano becomes furious when he sees that Larisa and Eloísa have already decided on the wedding date without considering his opinion, much less Belinda's feelings. Zacarías begs Aitana to leave her pain behind and focus on being happy, because since she returned to his life, he hasn't been able to stop thinking about their love.

Larisa tries to convince Luciano to send Belinda to London by criticizing their relationship, but only manages to irritate him to the point of canceling the wedding.

Disappointed by Iñigo's infidelity, Nuria takes control of her life and moves back into her parents' house. Iñigo demands that Larisa investigate how Nuria found out about their meeting at the hotel, or he will reveal the secrets she is hiding. Because he is thinking about Aitana, Zacarías makes a mistake, and Ximena demands that he forget this love if he wants them to be together.
Furious at seeing Bruno flirting with Aitana, Luciano reminds him of the importance of not interfering in his mother's care. Is that his only concern?
