Catherine and her family begin their new life in the slum side of the city.  Working as a street sweeper, Catherine finds a bag full of money.  She decides to return the money to one of the offices in the business district, and the rich owner of the company, Martin, rewards her with a free education.  Catherine excels in her studies and is one year away from graduating with honors.

Meanwhile, Rafael continues to search for Catherine.  He provides pro bono legal services to his clients, something that his congressman father does not appreciate.  When Enrique gets accused of smuggling, he pressures his son to defend him in court.  Rafael reluctantly agrees and later feels guilty when he wins the case.
