Episode 7 kicks off with a tense scenario as Alex and Charro embark on a confrontational journey towards the Lobos' lair, with Alex desperately attempting to thwart Charro's vengeful quest to eliminate Lucia. Charro, fueled by a searing pain and a desire for retribution, snaps back, insisting that he's the wounded party and someone must atone.
Unbeknownst to them, a drug-hazed Lucia spots their approach and scurries into hiding, her loyal pet Gol growing agitated and making a dash for freedom. Charro, single-minded in his pursuit, gives chase, while Alex valiantly stands in his path, a barrier between father and vengeance. In a heart-wrenching moment, Alex's father acknowledges the irreparable loss of his family and abandons the scene.
At the police station, Daniela's anxiety mounts as Emiliano insists on a harsh punishment, and Lucia remains unreachable by phone. Ulises, ever the compassionate friend, offers solace and insists on driving her home when her car betrays her. Upon arrival, the shock of Lucia's disappearance and the eerie emptiness of her belongings hits Daniela like a ton of bricks. Ulises, his affection spilling over, attempts a tender embrace that morphs into a bold kiss, which Daniela half-heartedly resists. Yet, he persists, confessing his long-held love for her.
Elsewhere, Javier endeavors to shake Emiliano's stubborn resolve, urging him to fight for those he loves lest the repercussions engulf them all. Amidst this, Yola weaves a tale to Carla, spinning Emiliano's actions into a narrative where he coerced Moncho into making the deal. Unbeknownst to them, Peyote, Charro's trusted lieutenant, observes the scene with a keen eye.
As for Alex, he rushes home, a sense of urgency driving him to pack his belongings. Lupita, watching silently, aids him in extracting funds from Charro's safe, a loan he vows to repay. Despite her pleas for him to stay, Alex's weariness with his father's shadow over his life is palpable. In a poignant embrace, he bids Lupita farewell, determined to forge his own path, and departs.
The American investors, having caught wind of Emiliano's arrest, promptly announced their intention to descend upon Santa Cruz, eager to assess the tumultuous situation firsthand. David and Javier, in a desperate bid to salvage the situation, concocted a tale of Emiliano's unjust imprisonment. As soon as the call ended, David frantically attempted to reach Carla, pleading with her not to break the story. Yet, she remained steadfast, her mind consumed by the allure of crafting Yola's exclusive—a narrative brimming with intrigue, a stark contrast to Paula's miraculous tale. Ignoring David's pleas, she delved deeper into her draft, only to find herself abruptly abducted by Peyote upon her departure.
Elsewhere, Charro and his legal counsel strategized on how to evade the relentless Jalisco police, who had been alerted to his son's predicament. Lupita, with a sense of urgency, urged him to retrieve Alex, but Charro's indifference was palpable. Unbeknownst to them, Alex and Lucia had fled, finding solace in the seclusion of one of Charro's family estates, where their bond deepened amidst their hiding.
Meanwhile, Roxana, engrossed in her work, stumbled upon the news of Paula's miraculous recovery. Fabian, however, cautioned Paula against discussing the Virgin Mary's intervention at school, leaving her perplexed and yearning for an explanation. His silence only fueled her doubts, as he instead ushered the growing crowd away. To his relief, Roxana's timely arrival brought a semblance of calm.
In another emotional tug-of-war, Javier and Brenda's relationship frayed further as Brenda struggled to comprehend his steadfast defense of Emiliano. Javier, his rationale clear, insisted that he was safeguarding their future, for the investors' wrath, should they sue over Emiliano's mishap, could spell financial ruin. Brenda, hurt and confused, felt abandoned in her moment of need, unable to fathom why he couldn't empathize with her suffering.
As she strides away, her careless step inadvertently shatters Mateo's intricate puzzle. Sharing a drink with Mauricio, they solemnly concur that the depths of heartache are forever impenetrable. Amidst their melancholic conversation, she inquires if he's ready for another chapter in parenthood, and soon their bond rekindles. Yet, upon her return, she finds Javier awake through the night, meticulously reassembling Mateo's puzzle, a testament to his unwavering love.
Desperate for answers, Daniela persists in her quest for Lucia, even reaching out to Nico and Salome for clues. Her phone call finally connects, and before Lucia can speak, Alex's voice echoes, only for the line to abruptly end. She confides in Emiliano about Lucia's elopement with Alex, leaving him fraught with concern. His frantic attempts to reach her, pleading for her return, precede a call to Javier.
Elsewhere, Charro orchestrates a sinister move, luring Clara to the same hotel room where David and Lupita's fateful encounter unfolded. Over the phone, he menacingly threatens David with Clara's harm, relishing in the revelation of her pregnancy. He toys with the idea of an alternative outcome, leaving Clara bewildered by the bizarre encounter.
The investors' arrival is met with a stunning revelation: David has brought Charro into the fold, usurping Emiliano's position. As The Accident's seventh episode draws to a close, Alex and Lucia prepare to embark on their journey to the United States. In a dramatic turn, Daniela issues an Amber Alert for both, startled to find Emiliano at home, freed on bail solely to track down Lucia. She asserts her independence, refusing his aid, only to stumble upon Ulises in their kitchen, adding another layer of complexity to the already tangled web.
