Episode 3 of "Who Killed Sara" kicks off with Elisa and Alex indulging in a tequila-fueled tête-à-tête, their glasses clinking in camaraderie. As they sip, Elisa seizes the moment, her eyes darting stealthily across the scattered files that litter Alex's surroundings. With practiced finesse, she pulls off the old ruse of a "nature's call," only to embark on a covert exploration upstairs.
Yet, Alex is no amateur at the game of cat and mouse. He catches Elisa red-handed and playfully redirects her to the bathroom's true location downstairs, a hint of amusement dancing in his eyes. Back in the living room, Elisa's keen observation uncovers Mariana's phone, its privacy breached, while she herself turns to Elroy, a tech-savvy ally, to unravel the mystery surrounding her own phone's fate.
As the night surrenders to dawn, Elisa sneaks out, leaving Alex haunted by doubts. But Elisa's mission is far from over; she returns home, her hands grasping her mother's phone with resolve. With a decisive toss, the phone shatters within a vase, its innards exposed but its data already beyond repair. However, Alex, ever the strategist, narrates that the photos, safely ensconced in the cloud, offer him an easy gateway into the truth.
Armed with this newfound leverage, Alex reconvenes with Diana the Huntress, who dispels any doubt that Rodolfo was involved with the harness. Instead, they receive a chilling image of a knife, its ownership traced to Chema, mysteriously appearing at Mariana's doorstep. The game has escalated, with a puppeteer pulling the strings from the shadows.
Elsewhere, the Lazcano family's name is being dragged through the mud, its innocence tainted by the circulation of incriminating photos. Bruno, a young student, succumbs to his rage, unleashing a violent outburst against a classmate. Cesar, ever the protector, steps in, guiding Bruno home to teach him the art of self-defense and the true meaning of fighting with honor.
Alex's quest for answers leads him to Chema, but the young man flees, his steps quickening down the street. In hot pursuit, Alex demands the videos Chema possesses, knowing they hold the key to unraveling this web of deceit. Flashbacks illuminate a pivotal moment: Sara's awareness of Chema's unrequited love for Alex, and her threat to expose it to the family. Driven by desperation, Chema seizes the knife and boards the fateful boat, setting in motion a chain of events that would forever alter their lives.
Returning to the present moment, Elisa's relentless snooping intensifies as she stealthily breaks into Alex's abode. Her steps echo eerily as she tiptoes into Sara's room, her fingers twitching with anticipation as she begins to snap photos, her camera's flash piercing the silence. Among the trinkets and memories, Elisa's gaze falls upon the baby scan images, igniting a flicker of curiosity within her.
But her covert mission is cut short as Alex's unexpected arrival fills the air with tension. Confusion etches his brow as he confronts Elisa in his living space, demanding to know the circumstances of her entry. Yet, Elisa, ever the adept manipulator, bypasses the question with a bold move, throwing herself at him and entangling in a night of passion.
Post-coital, Alex's voice carries a stern warning, his tone laced with a hint of exasperation. "Please, Elisa, find another way in than through the window," he admonishes.
As the episode draws to a close, the narrative shifts seamlessly to Chema's domicile, where a curious revelation awaits. Recall Diana, the Huntress, her image now immortalized as the captivating cover of one of Chema's books. This sudden juxtaposition begs the question: Could Chema himself be the elusive Huntress? The mystery deepens, leaving viewers to ponder the intricate web of identities and secrets that weave through this intricate tale.
