Ludovico gives him some advice and an idea which encourages Casimiro to give the ring to Angelita. Casimiro leaves.

Ernesto, Nico and Tonita are in the activity room talking about whether Tonita should give the money back to Jacinto - Ernesto says no, Jacinto gave her the money in good faith and from the heart.

Consuela and Gabriel wander into the greenhouse. She walks over to Ludovico sitting in a corner - he tells her to leave, get away from him. She walks close to him and hands him Gabriel the teddy bear.

Casimiro is confused - Ludovico kneels beside Angelita and begs forgiveness for the murder attempt. Casimiro starts to realize who Angelita is; Ludovico confirms that she is the "Angel of Mercy". Ludovico also shocks Casimiro by saying that Casimiro is the instrument used to murder her.

Blanca runs around her room in her robe - Berenice enters and wonders what she's doing - Blanca can't find her pearls - someone stole them!
