As The Snow Girl's fourth episode unfolds, Miren boards the identical bus as Foster, driven by a relentless quest for answers. Her fascination with his intimate knowledge of the rape case intertwines with the enigmatic logo she stumbled upon on Samuel's laptop. Foster, with a hint of reluctance, divulges the existence of a sinister website, "Slide," a digital abyss where users anonymously upload a macabre array of content—child pornography, graphic torture, and the heinous act of rape.
Though he has distanced himself from that realm, Foster presents Miren with a deal. He offers her a precious list of usernames from this twisted platform, a sliver of hope that might lead her to her assailants. But this aid comes at a steep price: ten thousand dollars. The prospect of finding her perpetrators, though slim, lingers tantalizingly.
Returning home, Miren's emotions unravel in a torrent of tears, anger, and helplessness. The very thought of her ordeal being broadcast online, viewed by countless strangers, inflames her fury. Desperate for guidance, she reaches out to Eduardo, eager to share her newfound information about the case and Luque. But as soon as she utters the word "Slide," Eduardo's warning is swift and stern, urging her to steer clear. The shadows of powerful forces loom large behind this nefarious organization, and Eduardo's concern echoes loudly—Miren should stay out of its reach.
Undeterred yet prudent, Miren examines her finances and withdraws half of the amount Foster demands. To her surprise, Foster's concession is granted, yet with a twisted twist. He insists on photographic proof of their transaction, and Miren, with little choice left, acquiesces, her disgust palpable as she exits the encounter. Yet, she possesses the list, a fragile thread connecting her to the truth.
Three years later, the night shrouds Foster's lair in flames, marking a sinister turn. Meanwhile, Miren's phone chimes with a chilling notification: a package addressed to Amaya's parents. Inside, a chilling farewell message—"Adios"—accompanies another heart-wrenching video of Amaya, her innocent laughter echoing in the same haunted room. The parents, once again united in grief, rush to the station, their screams of horror echoing through the halls as they behold the package and its chilling inscription.
Ana's voice trembled with determination as she dared the police, her words dripping with threat. She vowed that they would never shake her from their grasp unless they unraveled the mystery of the case. Belen, shaken to her core, found solace in Chaparro's reassurance, who declared that they knew nothing of her mettle and urged her not to let Ana's words penetrate her heart.
With renewed vigor, Belen and Miren dived headfirst into their investigation, scrutinizing the video meticulously, frame by meticulous frame. Miren's keen eye detected subtle disparities in the VCR heads between the two footage, while Belen's critical mind uncovered the addition of rare, miniature toys within the dollhouse. She saw these toys as a glimmer of hope, a promising lead in the dark.
Ana's final press statement was nothing short of devastating, her tears a testament to her anguish. Alvaro, moved by her plight, announced a staggering 100,000-euro reward for anyone who could aid in Amaya's recovery.
Belen and Chaparro ventured into a toy shop, a haven for artisanal creations, only to be met with another obstacle. The elderly proprietor, whose daughter now helmed the store, was uncertain of his handiwork, leaving them with yet another dead end.
Meanwhile, Miren reached the vintage VHS repair shop, her persistence paying off as the keeper confirmed that an identical Sanyo '85 set had been serviced two weeks prior. However, his suspicions arose at her journalistic identity, and she was unceremoniously shown the door. Desperate for closure, Miren resorted to stealth, stealing a ledger that revealed the customer's name and address – Iris Molina, their culprit, unmasked.
As the episode drew to a close, two pivotal scenes unfolded. Belen stumbled upon the photographs hidden within the sage, prompting her to query Miren about their significance. Then, Miren embarked on a journey back in time to confront Luque in 2016, seeking answers that would shatter her beliefs. Luque's somber reply cut straight to the heart of the matter: vices were ingrained in the world's fabric, and those like Miren would forever grapple with the unending quest for satisfaction.
