In the throes of her labor, Gala finds solace by reaching out to her mother, Julia, whom she hasn't laid eyes on for over a year. Julia's voice, a beacon of comfort, promises to remain by her daughter's side, even as their lives take a turn towards Mexico's shores.
Shifting to the present, Kate confronts her fears head-on, swallowing the last of her hormones while dreading the impending scrutiny at the doctor's office. The mechanic, a voice of wisdom, exhorts her to harness the indomitable strength that flows through her veins, a legacy from both Julia and Gala. Empowered by this thought, Kate marches resolutely into the doctor's chambers, her demands for a new prescription ringing with unwavering conviction.
Meanwhile, Julia's revelation to the priest that Gala is his daughter sets off a ripple of emotions, only to be followed by a jarring discovery: Andreu's fertility is not as impaired as once thought, casting doubt on the true paternity of Gala's lineage.
Elsewhere, Gala and Amat embark on a mission to elevate the women's homemade wine to new heights, rallying the community to contribute. Yet, Gala's plans are abruptly halted as Kate's urgent call echoes through the winery's halls.

Ultimately, she uncovers the truth that Fred is holed up in a luxurious Monte Carlo hotel, indulging in his illicit affair. As Tony dispatches his men to track him down, he entrusts Hank and Kevin with the vital task of guarding the womenfolk. Gala, desperate to resolve their dilemmas, concocts a daring plan, slipping sleeping pills into the loan sharks' meals. However, Julia's sudden intervention, brandishing a pistol pilfered from Andreu, disrupts her scheme. Kevin acts swiftly, disarming her, but Kate then orchestrates a cunning escape, leaving the sharks momentarily bewildered.
