Leonardo is conferring with Mendes- he has decided to hire new cowboys that will do his shady work, and decides to fire the rest of the personnel. Irina confronts Leonardo for what he did to Nieves, but Leonardo grabs her and tells her that he is the owner of the ranch. He tells her that everyone left is loyal to him, and no one can defend her. Irina replies that she can defend herself and kicks him- they struggle but Irina manages to arm herself with a hammer. She demands to know what he wants- to die at the hands of her husband?
Cayetana finds out that Leonardo is reducing the personnel to only four cowboys. She orders Eleazar to find Leonardo immediately. Leonardo is still confronting Irina and is about to rape her when Eleazar comes for him. Irina escapes, but Leonardo threatens that if Irina stays at the ranch he will rape her.
Leonardo admits to firing the cowboys , which Andrea finds stupid. Cayetana tells him that it’s not reasonable to have so little personnel. Leonardo claims that he has done research that shows they have too many personnel, but when Andrea demands to see the results of his work, he only claims that he will not allow a child to speak rudely to him. Andrea replies that she will not allow him to destroy what her father worked so hard to create. Cayetana asks Andrea to leave them alone.
Irina is shaken by her close call. Andrea sees her sister as a wreck but Irina runs to her room. Andrea begs her sister to tell her what happened, and Irina tells her.
Fernandez, Cabrera and Jose Antonio question Linda. Linda claims that she’s trying to donate clothes, but Jose Antonio and Fernandez pressure her. They show her a video of her dropping Isadora’s gun off at the church.
Leonardo shows Cayetana that they only need two cowboys, but Cayetana is not quite convinced. Leonardo plays the victim card and tells her that Irina attacked him and was trying to injure him.
Andrea gives Irina tea and tries to calm her for the baby’s sake, but she knows that it’s useless to tell Cayetana. Andrea tells Irina she must go with Flavio, and begs her sister to think of her baby’s life, which could be in danger. Cayetana arrives and demands an explanation from Irina. Irina tells her mother truth, but Cayetana doesn’t believe her.
Sofia and Arturo are enjoying their honeymoon. Arturo promises Sofia that when they return, he will speak to Cayetana personally to ty and get her to rethink her choices. Sofia is happy to hear him say that.
Cayetana does not believe Irina’s story, and tells her Leonardo’s side. Andrea defends her sister, but Cayetana tells Irina that if she can’t get along with Leonardo, then it is better if she leaves. She calls the Alcazar Ranch to speak to Flavio, and coldly tells him to come to the Del Junco Ranch to take his wife away. Before she leaves, Cayetana tells Irina to pack her things. Flavio, alarmed, calls Irina to find out what happened, and all it takes is for Irina to say that she had an argument with Leonardo for Flavio to head over. Samuel accompanies him as Soledad warns them to be careful.
Flavio and Samuel arrive at the Del Junco Ranch, but Leonardo is there with his men. Samuel reminds his hot-headed brother why they are there- to get Irina, so Flavio can be happy with his wife and his child- he doesn’t want his brother to end up dead or in jail. Flavio replies that he knows what he needs to do. Leonardo tells the brothers to leave, but Flavio refuses to leave without Irina. Cayetana arrives, telling Leonardo that she called Flavio over to take Irina away. Flavio demands to know what Leonardo did to Irina, but Leonardo replies that it’s none of his business. Provoked, Flavio grabs Leonardo and the two come to blows.
Isadora is cornered, and orders one of her men to fire at the police as she escapes through the back. The police burst in and capture him as Jose Antonio and Fernandez go after Isadora.
Andrea and Cayetana separate Leonardo and Flavio. Later, Irina says goodbye to Felipe. Felipe tells her that she should be with her husband, and Irina tells him that she’s pregnant. Felipe is happy to hear it, and gives Irina his blessing. Cayetana comes into the room, and also gives Irina her blessing. Andrea takes her sister to Flavio and Samuel, who are waiting outside. Felipe tells Cayetana that the house is becoming so empty, that one day they will wake up and not know if they are alive or dead.
Samuel looks over the hits Leonardo got on Flavio, but they both agree that Leonardo came out worse for wear. Irina and Andrea arrive, and though Irina doesn’t tell Flavio the whole story, she does tell him she doesn’t want to be at the house anymore. Samuel tries to convince Andrea to come with him, but she tells him she can’t- Leonardo is trying to sink the ranch, and she can’t leave her mother and grandfather now.
Cabrera and the other officers question Malkovich, Isadora’s henchmen. Jose Antonio tells Fernandez to order the officers out. They begin to question him, but when Jose Antonio learns Malkovich was involved with Arturo’s kidnapping, he loses it. Cabrera and Fernandez talk him down and take Malkovich in to the station. Fernandez can’t believe Jose Antonio reacted like that. He reminds Jose Antonio that he is not just a father- he’s a police officer. Jose Anotnio shows him that the gun he had pointed at Malkovich was empty- he never had any intention of killing him.
Cayetana encourages Leonardo to report Flavio, but Leonardo refuses- he knows if he does there will be rape charges laid against him from Irina, though he doesn’t tell Cayetana that. Instead, he claims he doesn’t want any more problems- after all, Flavio got what he wanted. Cayetana agrees it is for the best. She reveals that she knows of Irina’s pregnancy now.
At the Alcazar Ranch, Irina tries to tend to Flavio’s wounds, but he resists. Soledad scolds him for the wounds he got, but Flavio replies that it was worth it.
Two weeks later, Andrea continues to work at the ranch like a peon. Felipe tells her that Cayetana should see her mistakes- but Andrea replies that it’s no use. The horses are sick, the cattle are malnourished. Changing the subject, Andrea tells Felipe that Sofia and Arturo are returning with Arturito that day, and she is going to shower and change to go to the ranch. Later, Andrea catches Leonardo talking with someone on the phone. She overhears him say he is headed to meet them at the stables, and realizes this may be her opportunity. She goes upstairs to her mother, and tells Cayetana that she has proof against Leonardo. She presents her with the bank statement she just received, which shows a huge sum being taken out of their account. Cayetana asks if Andrea knows anything, but Andrea only tells her to ask Leonardo. Cayetana says there must be an explanation, forcing Andrea to play her last card. She asks her mother to come with her to the stables. Cayetana reluctantly agrees once Andrea promises that if she is wrong, she will leave Cayetana and Leonardo alone. Meanwhile, Felipe goes in search of his pistol.
At the Alcazar Ranch, Rocio and Nieves fret over Felipe’s health, as Cabrera arrives to talk to Rocio. The Gallardo family is having a barbeque to celebrate Sofia and Arturo’s return as well as Irina’s arrival at the ranch. Samuel mentions to Edward that a huge sum of money entered his account, and while he jokes that he won’t ask Edward what he will do with the money, he mentions that they have advisors at the bank at his disposal. Edward thanks him and then admits that Leonardo offered him the Del Junco Ranch at a low price. Sofia and Irina overhear, and are shocked.
Felipe finds his pistol, but is found by Matilde. At the station, Jose Antonio keeps pressuring Malkovich. Fernandez reveals that they can now prove that Malkovich was the one who sabotaged Ignacio del Junco’s plane, which would mean that Malkovich will end up in a life sentence.
At the Del Junco Ranch, Leonardo and Isadora meet at the stables and sleep together, and Cayetana sees them together.
