Episode 6 of "Sara: Woman in the Shadows" kicks off with a haunting flashback to the fateful day when Edoardo vanished. It was the goon's father who pulled the trigger, sending Edoardo hurtling down a flight of stairs in a desperate bid for survival. In a dramatic twist, Edoardo managed to return fire, wounding the assailant and narrowly escaping with his life.
Edoardo awakens in a dimly lit trailer, surrounded by the compassionate yet wary faces of a family who had risked everything to aid him. One of them, his voice firm with resolve, urges him to depart, fearing for their safety. Edoardo, his voice tinged with desperation, attempts to clarify his true identity as a reporter, pleading that his pursuers seek his demise, not theirs. Yet, his words fall on deaf ears, and the man insists, unwavering, that he must go. A compassionate lady, recognizing his plight, slips him the address of someone who might offer refuge and hands him a change of clothes for disguise.
As Edoardo arrives at a secluded hotel, the staff, oblivious to his perilous past, grants him sanctuary in a room and access to his computer. With fingers flying over the keyboard, he crafts a cryptic message on his social media, disguised as an innocuous house-hunting announcement. Sara, ever vigilant, catches the subtle hint and forwards it to Pardo. Together, they rush to Edoardo's residence, but the house yields no tangible clues to his whereabouts.
Meanwhile, Aldo, the vengeful son of the wounded goon, tracks down the family who harbored Edoardo, his eyes burning with malevolent intent. Storming into the room, he threatens them with dire consequences unless they reveal Edoardo's hiding spot. But Edoardo, ever resourceful, strikes first, felling Aldo and slipping away into the night. Sara and Pardo, hot on his trail, finally pinpoint the hotel's location only to arrive moments too late. They are confronted instead with the grim sight of Aldo's lifeless body.
Maria, ever the tech-savvy sleuth, notices a transaction on Edoardo's credit card – a ticket to Lisbon. Her fingers dance over the keyboard as she hacks into airport security systems, revealing Edoardo's flight details and his departure for the Portuguese capital. The chase continues, the stakes higher than ever, as the intricate web of deceit and danger tightens its grip around everyone involved.
Edoardo's cryptic message on his social media platform piqued Pardo's curiosity as he visited Viola in the hospital, where she enthusiastically discussed transforming Giorgio's study into a cozy nursery for their incoming bundle of joy. Recalling the hint about a baby room within the encoded message, Pardo grasped its significance and promptly returned to Edoardo's apartment complex. There, he sought out Edoardo's neighbor, whose young daughter revealed a poignant detail: Edoardo had gifted her a doll just days prior, instructing her to safeguard it always. Upon closer inspection, they discovered a concealed pen drive tucked within the doll, containing Edoardo's meticulously researched articles. These exposés unmasked Tarallo's murky political dealings and the criminal underpinnings funding his campaign.
As for Tarallo's fate, Sara and Pardo tracked down Anzovino through his daughter Rachele, who had previously misled them with her falsehoods. It emerged that Rachele harbored guilt over Sergio's demise, believing it stemmed from her revelation to her father about his probe into Vigilante's affairs. Anzovino, in turn, informed Vigilante, leading to Sergio's fateful end. Sara compelled Rachele to coerce her father into reporting Vigilante's next指令, especially after Anzovino phoned them on the eve of Tarallo's final campaign rally, conveying Vigilante's request to withhold security services on behalf of the campaign.
Sara's team anticipated Vigilante's machinations on campaign day, anticipating their dramatic entrance. As predicted, a chaotic riot erupted among a group of immigrants during the rally, amidst which Tarallo was shot. He succumbed to his injuries shortly after arriving at the hospital, and an immigrant worker was mistakenly apprehended for the crime.
What unfolds for Vigilante? Sara deduces that Vigilante is the puppet master pulling all the strings. His elongated escape from justice is attributed to an unseen accomplice aiding him. Recollections flood her mind of an incident involving Capatano and Massimiliano's trip to Rome. Upon their return, Massimiliano was incensed, his fury intensifying when lives were lost in a bomb explosion. Sara seeks out Capatano and learns he was excluded from a crucial meeting between Massimiliano and Lembo in Rome. Emerging from the boardroom, Massimiliano informed Capatano they were no closer to solving the mystery.
Sara confronts Lembo head-on, and he makes no attempt to conceal his role in shielding Vigilante. Lembo urges Sara to follow Massimiliano's lead and forget everything she has uncovered. Later, Sara encounters Teresa, who vents her frustration at her inability to uncover any information on Vigilante. Sara enlightens her about Lembo's complicity.
The following day, Vigilante embarks on his routine jog in the park, unaware of the impending danger. Out of the shadows steps Teresa, her gun aimed and ready. With a swift pull of the trigger, Teresa ends Vigilante's life on the spot.
Turning to Viola's saga, she is furious over the mysterious man in the black car that has loomed outside her residence for days. Reaching her breaking point, she confronts him, only to find her waters breaking unexpectedly. The man, under Sara's directives to safeguard Viola, swiftly assists her to the hospital. Viola delivers a healthy baby boy and names him after Massimiliano.
The episode concludes on a poignant note as Sara finally listens to the CD left behind by Massimiliano. It's a heartfelt message professing his love for her and pleading her not to spend the rest of her life in solitude.
