Teresita, bored of José Luis' constant snubbing, admits that she is in love with Manuel. During this intervention, Teresita involves Leonor in this conversation, something that makes José Luis quite angry, who takes his daughter with her to find out if she knew about this. Leonor admits it, but says that she assumed it was part of her gratitude for being saved. However, Teresita insists that she wants to marry Manuel. Another important moment was Leontina confronting Manuel about his nightly walks in the Querencia. Likewise, Mercedes was in shock after seeing Ignacio leave Herminia's house.
