After spending four months in jail, Teresa is declared innocent of the murder of her own father and is released from prison, but the teacher is not the same as before: she is exhausted after her time in prison and has no strength to face her relationship with Roberta, his sister.

Since Teresa has returned, neither students nor teachers understand her. Roberta tries to go to Teresa for help, but she is distracted by Ines. Meanwhile, the girls propose that the Academy's street name be changed to that of a woman.

The Academy closes its doors and Manuela feels terribly powerless. The Peraltas claim the school as theirs and have the documents to confirm it. Teresa, however, will not let Manuela sink with the school.
