Ángel Cristo finds his circus drowning in debt. Bárbara Rey may be able to help secure the circuses future, but Ángel begins to suspect that more is going on than there appears to be.

Ángel persists in persuading Bárbara to participate in the special; weary of perpetually playing second fiddle to every man who shows interest, Bárbara confronts Juan Carlos I.

Ángel and Bárbara begin their special rehearsals. Their growing attraction is palpable, yet both feel hesitant due to Ángel's respect towards Renata and Bárbara's connection with Juan Carlos I.
