Alex was actually cool with this though, telling him it won’t affect their friendship. Back home, Alex talks to Diana the Huntress again. Apparently this person wanted him and Rodolfo to work together on this case. However, when he asks whether Diana is the one responsible for killing Sara, the connection severs. Something is being hidden here. Elisa shows up at Alex’s house and admits that she’s curious and wants to know whether Alex is actually dangerous.

Thankfully Elroy is there to free him but someone is covering their tracks and seemingly going to any length to keep the truth buried. Elisa heads in to Jorge’s office and manages to sort out a meeting between the pair. As day turns to night, Jorge meets Alex in the parking lot but suddenly a car arrives and ploughs straight through him, knocking the bloodied accountant to the ground. It’s Elroy.
The Episode Review
This story continues to intrigue with a tasty little cliffhanger at the end there. Who Killed Sara is really starting to zero in on certain members of the family and questioning their allegiance too. With Elisa teaming up with Alex, along with Rodolfo turning away from his family, it seems like we’re gearing up for quite the dramatic showdown. As this dysfunctional family continue to grapple with the truth, the flashbacks to that day continue to shed light on what’s happened. Of course, it also retreads familiar ground too, which is something the previous episodes have been guilty of. Either way, the ending leaves the door wide open and it really could be anyone responsible at this point!
