Eva is dumped by Guzmán, who was using her to study for his own benefit, and he leaves the school on a scholarship to Germany. Eva is devastated, and gets drunk at 68. Many of the mysteries of Eva's life are revealed. The boys shadow her movements and discover her real home, a large Bogotá mansion, where she reveals her father is actually a rich industrialist, not the driver of one. She was using her driver's home, where the boys had been invited in previous episodes, as a decoy. The kidnap attempt was a real one given the wealth of the family, but the police had been trailing the assailants for weeks, so quickly arrested them. But her mother did indeed commit suicide and Eva had been expelled from several schools: if she did not do well with this, her last chance in a public school, she would have been sent to a Catholic religious boarding school run by nuns, in France. Martin's sister Luisa becomes the second girl at the school, unsettling friendship and gender dynamics (and annoying Martin since she is placed in the same class). | ||||
