Marta and Pelayo’s relationship is crumbling, and the coldness between them is palpable. In an intimate yet tense conversation, Marta voices her concerns about the growing emotional gap that seems to be growing every day. She brings up how Pelayo had asked for time, but despite their family dinners together, the walls between them remain untouched. With a heavy heart, Marta declares that they simply cannot keep going on like this.
Pelayo, however, seems distant, almost as if he’s trying to shut her out emotionally. His response is vague and evasive: he doesn’t want to dwell on the past and insists that they need to focus on the future. He tells Marta not to punish herself over the loss of their child, but Marta, wounded and confused, cannot help but question if Pelayo is insinuating that her grief is somehow separate from their failed connection. His refusal to give her a direct answer leaves her feeling even more isolated and betrayed.
In a moment of further discomfort, just as the conversation seems to hit a breaking point, Damián enters the room and greets Pelayo. Pelayo responds politely but quickly exits, leaving Marta alone with her mounting doubts. This sudden departure only deepens her sense of abandonment and confusion.
The dinner that was supposed to bring some semblance of normalcy feels strained. The atmosphere is thick with unspoken tension, and Marta can’t shake the feeling that something is seriously wrong.
Meanwhile, in another part of the house, things are equally tense. Manuela brings coffee to Irene and Damián, but Irene rejects it in a visibly nervous and uncomfortable manner. Before anyone can understand what’s happening, Irene stands up abruptly, saying she feels embarrassed and has to leave. Damián tries to calm her down, assuring her that he’s perfectly fine with her company, but Irene insists that she cannot stay.
Just as the awkwardness intensifies, Marta and Pelayo walk in, and Marta is immediately taken aback to see Irene there. She asks if anything is wrong, but Irene quickly covers up, claiming she’s just dropped off some bank documents for Damián to sign. Damián, trying to smooth over the situation, suggests that Irene stay for dinner, but she refuses, claiming that she has to go. Damián offers to accompany her to the door, and the two leave, followed by a quiet Pelayo.
Marta is left behind, alone and deeply troubled. Her suspicions about the growing rift between Damián and Irene only intensify. Could something more be going on between them? Why is Irene acting so strangely? Marta, still reeling from her conversation with Pelayo, finds herself spiraling into doubt and confusion.
This unsettling moment leaves us with more questions than answers. What’s really happening behind closed doors, and what does the future hold for Marta and Pelayo?
Do you think Marta’s suspicions are justified, or is she misreading the situation? What could be going on with Irene and Damián?
