She calls her ex-husband Lluís, the director of the hospital to seek help in freeing their son. Meanwhile, President Patricia begins experiencing the side effects of her treatment like hair loss and lethargy.

Being troubled by the increasing social media backlash from the victims at the tourism fair, she decides to shift all the less serious patients to their homes to make space for the ones needing immediate care. This decision is not taken well by the doctors, including Dr Moa, her oncologist.
On the other hand, Óscar attempts to get closer to Enrique, who afraid to lose his job, keeps away. However, all his attempts go in vain when Dr Amaro invites him over for dinner to express her gratitude for helping her son become better.
Meanwhile, Dr Donoso, recently made aware of the new policy tries to pick out the less serious patients when she comes across an obese diabetic who cannot heal because he cannot lose weight. But, she does manage to save his life when trouble arises by taking him into an animal MRI machine, suitable for his overweight body, and Dr Amaro operates on him.
Leo, now desperate to free her son begs her apprentice May to testify against her forged reports, who refuses to lie under oath.
