Lucas, fueled by adrenaline, attempts a daring pursuit but fate intervenes, as his inexperience on the bike betrays him, sending him tumbling off the road in a spectacular yet comical crash. Yet, amidst the chaos, Lucas ingeniously tags the van with a GPS tracker, planting a seed of hope for Miguel's rescue.
Back at their secret lair, the scarred man's voice is laced with grief as he divulges the tragic news of his comrades' demise in the treacherous jungle. With a steely determination, he orders a doctor's presence, intent on retrieving the elusive moonstone from Miguel's grasp.
Lucas, undaunted by the challenges ahead, presses on, his mind racing with strategies. Utilizing his arsenal of miniature drones, he conducts a daring reconnaissance mission, infiltrating the stronghold's defenses to paint a clear picture of Miguel's captivity within a makeshift stable. Miguel's urgent whispers echo through the air, warning Lucas of impending danger, but Lucas stands firm, his resolve unwavering.
Alerted to Lucas's intrusion, the scarred man springs into action, dispatching his ruthless henchmen in pursuit. With the jungle as his only ally, Lucas flees, his every move a testament to his cunning and speed. As he races through the foliage, he manages to transmit a desperate SOS to Wilson, beseeching his aid.
In a moment of strategic brilliance, Lily seizes an opportunity, enlisting the services of Octavio, a reformed marine-turned-master thief. Though initially reluctant to reenter the world of crime, Octavio's resolve crumbles in the face of Lily's cunning offer—a share of the treasure that awaits.
Dawn breaks, heralding a new day and a united front. The team converges, their spirits high as they infiltrate the opulent mansion, each member a vital cog in the intricate machine of their daring rescue mission. The stage is set for a thrilling confrontation, where loyalty, courage, and cunning will be put to the ultimate test.
Octavio barrels through the premises, mowing down guards effortlessly, his former marine prowess evident in every swift movement. Simultaneously, the doctor arrives and delves into Miguel's abdomen with precision, searching for the elusive stone. Amidst the chaos, the scarred figure unmasks himself, revealing a familiar face to Miguel, one from their past encounters.
As the dust settles, the team orchestrates Miguel's liberation and narrowly escapes the clutches of danger. Along the way, Lily confides in Wilson, her voice laced with secrecy, that she's on the run and can no longer bear the name Lily. They usher Miguel to Lucas' sanctuary, where, after a long-awaited relief, he expels his torment and retrieves the coveted moonstone.
Miguel and Wilson embark on a solemn journey to confront Miguel's father, unveiling the truth about the moonstone's hidden existence within a cenote, a secret entrusted by Francisco de Montejo. Miguel's father's revelation shatters their understanding further; there are not just one, but three stones, and only when united, they lead to the ultimate treasure. He urges Miguel to seek Ariel's expertise, an authentic archaeologist, a suggestion that sows seeds of doubt in Miguel's mind.
As the episode draws to a tense climax, Miguel's father is abruptly snatched away by a bald-headed assailant, his shadowy allegiance to the scarred man all but confirmed.
