Estrella is determined to become the first female fisherwoman in order to support her family and pay off the debt to Fabián.

Estrella convinces her father's fishermen to work with her. Fabián witnesses her bravery and has no hesitation in acknowledging that she is a great woman.

Fabián assures Estrella that he tried to be understanding with her, but seeing that she is now playing dirty, he is ready to draw up the contract to take ownership of her house and the boats. Doña Meche speaks up and warns him that she has no intention of signing any document.
