Episode 4 of "The Accident" unfolds with a jarring revelation, as Daniela is left reeling from Emiliano's confession. Convinced that Moncho's tragic demise, along with the children's ordeal, rests heavily on his shoulders, she experiences a tumultuous emotional journey. She labels him a coward and contemplates placing him under arrest, her voice laced with anger. Emiliano, resolute, vows to surrender himself, only to hear Daniela declare their marriage's irrevocable end.
Meanwhile, David frantically seeks answers from Carla, wondering if Emiliano has confessed to Daniela. His inquiries, however, yield no fruit. Parallelly, Javier's attempt to discourage Brenda from expanding their family inadvertently reveals a secret—he underwent a vasectomy years before their wedding, leaving Brenda seething at the deception that led her to consume birth control pills for so long.
Brenda's despair leads her to a fertility clinic, whereafter she finds solace in Mauricio's bar. Their conversation drifts to their own unfulfilled dreams of parenthood, and Mauricio, empathetic, offers to become a father figure to Brenda's potential child, amusing her amidst her sorrow.
In a separate drama, Lupita's grief for Gabito manifests in the form of a shrine within her home. She yearns to cremate his remains and bring them home, but Charro, cold and unyielding, denies her wish.
Paula, consumed by the urge to visit Rodri's grave, finds herself trapped indoors by Fabian's vigilance amidst a media frenzy. Seizing a moment of distraction, she sneaks out, only to be confronted by a skeptical Carla. Paula, in a moment of desperation, claims divine intervention, saying the Virgin Mary spoke to her. Soon, the commotion escalates as ailing individuals flock to Paula, beseeching her for blessings and healing. Fabian, rushing to the scene, swiftly reprimands Carla before slamming the door shut.
Fonseca, driven by a desire to aid Yola, delves into Moncho's world of enemies, but encounters a brick wall. Frustrated, he enlists Daniela's help in the drug case, and together, they orchestrate a stakeout, determined to uncover the truth amidst the chaos.
However, the very domicile they are keeping a close eye on is none other than the one where Salome has spirited away Lucia. And to their surprise, the elusive drug dealer turns out to be none other than Nico himself. Feeling uneasy and vulnerable, Lucia sends a frantic text to Alex, pleading for his rescue.
David, meanwhile, makes a hurried visit to Emiliano, who is visibly unraveling under the weight of recent events. As Emiliano spills the beans on the latest developments, David pleads and threatens in equal measure, convincing him that Daniela's heart will soften and he should not be made to bear the burden of an unfortunate accident. But Emiliano's resolve falters swiftly, shattering into pieces just before a crucial meeting with the investors and Javier.
Javier, upon discovering the truth, is consumed by rage over the deaths and torn between honoring the contract and seeking justice. Emiliano, desperate to extricate himself from the deal, finds his way blocked by the investors' steadfast refusal. They remind him sternly that the deal is with him and if he wishes to withdraw, he must reimburse them not just the initial 5 million but an additional 2.5 million stipulated in the compensation clause.
As the investors depart, Javier leaves Emiliano with a chilling reminder—the contract harbors a morality clause, and should the deaths come to light, every party involved stands to be ruined.
Elsewhere, Santo secures a court order and promptly taps Charro and Emiliano's phones, eavesdropping on their conversations. He swiftly acts on the incriminating exchange between Charro and Horacio, bringing them both in for questioning. However, Horacio's alibi of being absent during the actual murder and Charro's shrewd lawyer, confident in their ability to navigate through mere circumstantial evidence, pose a formidable challenge.
As the stakeout unfolds, Daniela, impatient and reckless, decides to make a solo move, sans backup. Her impulsive entry triggers chaos, with Alex's timely arrival prompting a flurry of texts to Lucia. The group scatters like startled birds, and Daniela's trigger-happy fingers claim a few victims. Lucia manages to slip into Alex's car, but Daniela, mistaking them for the dealers, gives chase. Desperate to evade the danger, Lucia leaps from the moving vehicle, leaving Alex to confront Daniela alone.
Meanwhile, David, under the guise of delivering a cherished childhood storybook to Gabito, visits Lupita at the graveside. His words of commitment and affection lead to a moment of intimacy, but Lupita's heart is heavy with fear of Charro's wrath. Their fleeting connection is soon marred by regret.
Back at her abode, Lupita finds herself in a compromising situation with Charro, who attempts to force his advances upon her. She resists fiercely, pushing him away in disgust. As he storms off, his anger is momentarily halted by the sight of David's book amidst her discarded clothing.
Amidst this turmoil, Lupita receives a call from Alex, imprisoned and seeking answers.
Elsewhere, Emiliano struggles to appease Yola and the US embassy, his efforts falling flat as her threats linger. The specter of investors' discovery looms large, pushing him to his breaking point. He warns Yola with a steely resolve, threatening mutual destruction if she doesn't comply.
Daniela, still reeling from her husband's confession, confides in Fabian, seeking guidance. He gently probes her intentions, asking if she truly desires to bring Emiliano to justice. Her hesitation speaks volumes.
The Accident's fourth episode culminates in a harrowing turn as Charro abducts and brutalizes David. With a gun pointed at his head, David's life hangs in the balance until he reveals Emiliano's role in the bouncy house tragedy, a revelation that may just save his skin.
