Episode 6 of "The Snow Girl 2: The Soul Game" delves into the culminating trial – the test of endurance, where Miren is suspended in a crucifix-like manner, required to endure this position for an entire day to secure victory in the grim game. Nacho uncovers that Laura’s photograph was a deceptive facsimile, a tool he wielded to manipulate and toy with Miren’s emotions. His demeanor suggests irritation towards her unwavering conviction that she can rescue all the lost souls of girls.
In regards to the Soul Game, Nacho’s intentions remain shrouded in mystery. When Miren inquires about Allison, he coldly rationalizes it as a merciful act, claiming she couldn’t bear the excruciating pain. He also strategically places the Bible to divert police attention towards Garrido, leaving them occupied with a false lead. However, Borja’s paranoia grows, haunted by the fear of impending capture. Amidst this turmoil, Nacho anoints Borja as his apostle, player number one, expressing trust in his ability to pass all tests and keep a vigilant eye on Miren.
The boys spend the entire night with Miren, leading their families to worry incessantly. A rush of urgency brings Nacho back home, where he claims solitude, haunted by Allison’s memory that evokes Laura’s ghost. Meanwhile, Borja’s mother takes matters into her own hands, alerting the authorities, who promptly interrogate his classmates. When it’s Nacho’s turn, he portrays Borja as a quirky recluse, his shifty demeanor enough to arouse Belen’s suspicions.
Rushing back to the hideout, Nacho finds Miren in a precarious state, her strength waning. Borja’s patience reaches its breaking point, his conscience urging him to liberate her. Nacho’s refusal ignites a fiery conflict, leading Borja to renounce his allegiance. Frustrated and further agitated by Borja’s carelessness in leaving his phone on, Nacho snaps, taking Borja’s life in a fit of rage. Ironically, Belen secures a warrant for Borja’s phone and, through it, traces their location to the hideout.
The tension mounts, with each character’s actions painting a vivid tapestry of deceit, desperation, and impending doom.
Why does Nacho set his sights on Miren? Believing firmly that he holds the reins of the situation, Nacho brags about the game to Miren with an air of superiority. He boasts of taking Garrido's game and enhancing it, turning it into something even better. Borja, who was once lost and lonely, found a sense of purpose through the game, thanks to Nacho, who claims to have done him a favor. As for Allison, her life was in disarray after being attacked by a thug, and she sought to rekindle her faith. Nacho, indifferent to religion or spirituality, offered his assistance.
However, his true motive for targeting Miren stems from a desire for revenge. He harbors resentment towards her for never searching for Laura with the same dedication and fervor she displayed when looking for Amaya. He forces Miren to play the game, hoping to plunge her into the depths of despair he felt after losing Laura. To illustrate his point, he shows her a harrowing video of Borja injecting Eduardo with insulin, an act that ultimately led to a fatal heart attack. Miren's psyche crumbles, and she collapses in a faint.Nacho quickly unties her and attempts to revive her, but she was only pretending. As soon as she regains her composure, she strikes him and flees. Nacho catches up with her near the beach, where the tension between them reaches a climax.
What fate awaits Laura? Jaime finally reaches Tomas, who initially believes his father's assertion that his paranoid behavior is unwarranted. Jaime unburdens himself by revealing the truth about Alberto and Laura's clandestine meetings at the Green House. Tomas is torn between disbelief and hurt, feeling betrayed and manipulated by his own father. After years of searching for Laura, Jaime's persistence pays off as Tomas reluctantly shares the location of the Green House, which belongs to Alberto.
Jaime alerts Julio and makes his way to the estate, but his arrival is met with confusion as the caretaker and Alberto train their guns on him. Jaime, convinced that Alberto is Laura's killer, pleads with him to make amends if he truly loved her. Alberto is agitated by these accusations, insisting that the situation is far more complicated. Just then, Julio and the police arrive, prompting Alberto to take his own life.
While the police search the premises for Laura's remains, Julio drives Jaime back. They pass a house that strikes Jaime as odd, prompting them to break in. To their astonishment, they find Laura and her son upstairs. She pleads with them to leave her in peace, as she has no desire to return to her previous life.
Has Miren met her demise? Nacho seizes Miren and plunges a knife into her abdomen, pleading with her to reveal why she never sought out Laura. Yet, in a reversal, she seizes the weapon and repeatedly stabs him in return. The authorities soon arrive at their hideout and discover Borja. When they reach Miren, she has slipped into unconsciousness. Chaparro promptly summons an ambulance, while Belen desperately tries to rouse her. Miraculously, she opens her eyes, a semblance of consciousness returning.
A year later, Laura confides in Jaime her desire to apologize to Miren for Nacho's actions. However, Miren has resigned from the newspaper and vanished without a trace. As Jaime returns to work, he smiles wistfully at Miren's now-empty desk. Meanwhile, police raid a laundromat, uncovering a basement filled with snuff films belonging to the Slide, with Miren and Cristina Ruiz identified as two of the victims depicted.
As for why Laura does not fault Alberto, the answer unfolds during the closing scene of The Snow Girl 2: The Soul Game Episode 6, a year hence. Laura and Jaime convene at Nacho's grave for an interview. Jaime presents a psychological report suggesting that Laura may have suffered from Stockholm Syndrome, positioning her as a victim in this harrowing saga.
Yet, Laura stands in defense of Alberto. She elaborates that her desire to abandon the world stemmed from a need to repent for her sins, including her affair with Alberto and her unwed pregnancy. Alberto, she insists, had always cared for her, orchestrating her disappearance as an act of compassion.
