Lisabeta and Francisca go to Santiago's house, they ask for Ofelia but they do not find her. Later, they cross the square and meet Manuela, who tells them that her father is not at home and says that they went back to their house the night before, but they did not steal anything. Lisabeta believes that Ricardo was the one who entered Alberto's house, probably because he already knows about the letter. Francisca suggests denouncing it and Lisabeta forbids it.
