In the meantime, May’s water breaks and the contractions begin. A wasted Óscar accompanies her to the hospital, but fears his mother and runs back as soon as they arrive. May and Biel advise Enrique to keep away as Óscar’s addiction gets worse. A helpless Dr Moa goes to Dr Amaro seeking help who denies it, revealing that she was the one who asked for the peer review in the first place.
He then goes to his resident Biel, who wishes Dr Moa hadn’t left his patient’s side at her most vulnerable, just like he hadn’t left a young Biel after his surgery. At last, he meets President Patricia, his patient as the two grow close. While the president wishes to keep her treatment private, her privacy is disrupted by a photographer in disguise who catches the two in a personal moment. Dr Moa manages to chase after him and gives the memory card to Leo to discard, who gives it to the Health minister in order to stop the privatisation of the hospital.
The peer review takes place and while Dr Amaro speaks against Dr Moa, Biel defends him upon being reminded of his surgery as a little child. It is deliberated that the surgery should have been paused as Dr Moa suggested, and he returns to his duties at the hospital. Meanwhile, May goes into labour and an emergency C-section is performed. After a stressful operation, risking the life of both mother and child, both are saved in the nick of time. Everyone realises that Rucio is the other parent, however, May does not let her near the child.
A love story blossoms between Dr Moa and Patricia, and Dr Donoso and Biel, but tensions grow between Enrique and Óscar, who holds a drug party at the former’s house. With only the last episode left, anticipation heightens as to what fate holds for these relationships and that of the hospital.
