After being rescued by Luis Fernando, Doménica Montero argues with him upon discovering that he had only gone to her ranch to provoke her and argue about the land. Meanwhile, Pedro, trying to protect Nieves, confronts Osvaldo, leaving him injured. After the brutal beating Osvaldo suffered at Pedro's hands, Gabriel, his father, uses his influence to have Pedro arrested on false charges. Doménica seeks Luis Fernando's help as a doctor, hoping to obtain a fairer verdict in Pedro's case, as she believes he was unjustly imprisoned.
