The episode kicks off with a haunting flashforward depicting Lili's arrest, casting a melancholic pall over the narrative and leaving viewers on tenterhooks about the fate of the daring outlaws and the culmination of their audacious scheme.
Returning to the present, Regina meticulously lays a trap, fully anticipating the bandits' bid to snatch the precious diamond during its grand exhibition at her casino. Despite the towering risks, the bandits devise an ingenious plan to outwit the cunning Regina. Miguel, initially wavering and feeling superfluous, is persuaded by his imaginary companion, Wilson, that no member of the team should be left behind, prompting his reintegration into the mission.
On the fateful day of the heist, the bandits execute their meticulously crafted plan with military precision. Citlali and Lucas wreak havoc by hacking the slot machines, sending guests into a frenzy of unexpected wins. From her CCTV vantage point, Regina hastily evacuates the diamond room and seals it, unveiling yet another secure vault. Ines finds herself grappling with the formidable task of drilling through the vault's reinforced walls, but Miguel arrives at the eleventh hour to lend his expertise. Lucas, meanwhile, uses his technological prowess to disable the laser security system in the diamond room, paving the way for Lili to infiltrate the premises undetected.
However, the bandits' impeccable plan encounters an unforeseen obstacle when Regina apprehends Lili. Unbeknownst to Regina, the diamond displayed in the room is a meticulously crafted decoy, while the genuine gem resides concealed in her private office. But Regina has crafted a陷阱 within a trap, revealing that the vault harbors a ticking time bomb. Leo, eavesdropping on the dire revelations, zooms into the diamond room atop a motorcycle, and together with Lili, they narrowly escape the devastating explosion. Lili is subsequently apprehended by the police, while Leo and Citlali slip through the cracks of justice. Tragically, Lucas, Ines, and Miguel are presumed dead, their bodies conveyed to the morgue, leaving a harrowing cliffhanger for the viewers.
The episode transitions to an interrogation room where Carmen charges Lili with theft, assault, and murder, heaping accusations upon her weary shoulders. Unsatisfied with merely apprehending Lili, Regina believes she possesses the Valdes inheritance, which she considers her birthright. In a chilling revelation, Lili confesses that Inigo is her biological father and that he safeguarded the inheritance from Regina, cognizant of her treacherous nature. Regina, in a confessional moment, admits to tampering with Inigo's medications, framing Lili for his ultimate demise.
In an unexpected twist of fate, Regina is apprehended as Canche, who was meant to remain oblivious, had inadvertently left the microphone on in the interrogation room. A poignant flashback unveils that Xime thwarted Ines's attempt to detonate the bomb, and together, they cunningly feigned their demises to outwit Regina. Ariel, ensnared in their intricate scheme, bribes Canche to aid in the escape of Lucas, Ines, and Miguel, who stealthily depart in disguised body bags.
The ruffians rent the diamond to Ariel for a cool million and reclaim their funds, along with a modest surplus, from Regina's secure vault.
