Episode 7 of "Snakes and Ladders" kicks off with Dora gracefully entering her school's premises, adorned in her prefecture uniform. Leveraging the secrets she had meticulously uncovered about the Consuls, she had successfully reclaimed her rightful position. Upon her arrival, Tamara and the fellow moms heap praise upon her, their admiration evident.
Tamara, seeking a moment of privacy, gently pulls Dora aside to underscore the paramountcy of discretion in her new role. Soon after, Josefina beckons Dora to her office, where she delivers a bombshell: there will be no elections for the headmistress position, implying that Dora should be content with merely regaining her job.
Elsewhere, Muriel's company is teetering on the brink of financial ruin, the ban on exports to Spain dealing a crippling blow. To compound his woes, he discovers Nicolas's homosexuality, which sends Juana into a tailspin of distress. Amidst this turmoil, Muriel and Dora convene at a serene spa, where Muriel vents his frustration with the Consuls, who seem bent on undermining his every endeavor. He craves swift retaliation and enlists Dora's help in uncovering dirt on Tamara and Vicente.
Back at home, Juana, in a fit of emotional distress, posts on social media about her boyfriend's sexuality. Meanwhile, Muriel storms into an unplanned meeting with Josefina, demanding that she call for an election. In return for his favor, Josefina exacts a price: a position on Muriel's company's board, complete with partnership rights and lucrative stock options. Josefina nods in agreement and subsequently coerces Martha into running against Dora for the headmistress position, setting the stage for an intense rivalry.
Meanwhile, Roque is in a dilemma over Vicente and Tamara's proposition for a threesome, his anxiety evident. He opens up to Dora, who then uses this vulnerability to coerce him into granting their request. Dora, in cahoots with Muriel, schemes to surreptitiously record the encounter, seeing it as a leverage to bolster Muriel's power against the Consuls.
Turning our attention back to Juana, her revelation about Nicolas has backfired spectacularly. Despite Nicolas losing his seat on the youth committee, an internet wave of support has surged in his favor, turning the tables on Juana. Muriel, furious, lays the blame on Lopitos for failing to keep him informed. Lopitos attempts to share something pertinent about Juana, but Muriel dismisses him abruptly.
Rejected from the youth meeting, Nicolas finds solace in Tono. Initially believing his world had crumbled, he's now elated by the twist of fate. He shows Tono the deluge of positive messages flooding his social media and direct messages. It transpires that many, particularly his classmates, were already aware of his sexual orientation and were accepting of it.
Juana's woes deepen as Lopitos delivers more grim news. He's overheard a rumor from his cop pals about an impending arrest due to the spate of robberies in their neighborhood. The car being tracked by the police matches Juana's make, model, and even color, casting a dark shadow over her.
Dora, confident that the headmistress position is hers for the taking, invites Martha out for a karaoke session. The plot to aid Muriel in blackmailing the Consuls is in full swing, and Dora strategically sets up cameras in the hotel room where the threesome is to unfold. Meanwhile, Juana exacts her revenge on Tono and Nicolas by planting the stolen items in Tono's room while he slumbers.
Election Day dawns, bringing together parents and teachers alike. It's also the fateful day for the threesome, with Tamara torn between prioritizing the school election and indulging Vicente's eagerness for revenge against Muriel, who demands she choose between saving their marriage and exacting vengeance.
During the elections, Martha garnered a substantial following, capturing the hearts of everyone in the school, with Josefina, a dedicated educator, casting her vote in her favor as well. Meanwhile, Tamara, prioritizing her marital bond, accompanied Vicente to the hotel, where they embarked on an intimate adventure, excluding Roque from their activities. Feeling left out, Roque made the decision to depart. Elsewhere, Dora and Muriel's meticulously crafted plan unraveled as they watched, horrified, the footage from the cameras capturing Tamara and Vicente in the midst of an incredibly passionate and private moment.
As the episode drew to a close, Tono found himself in a precarious situation. Juana, driven by her own agenda, provided the police with a detailed tip, identifying Tono as the culprit. While Tono was innocently minding his own business on the street, the authorities descended upon him, discovering incriminating evidence in his bag. The elections, meanwhile, had concluded, with Martha Sanchez emerging victorious as the new headmistress of the school.
