Who Killed Sara? season 3, episode 4 recap
Episode 4 opens with a flashback of Sara giving birth to her child. She names her child Lucia. The midwives ask her if she’d like to see her child one last time before taking her away. Suddenly, Sara’s heart rate increases.
In the present, Alex fights for his life at the hospital after Nicandro and his men attacked him. Meanwhile, Chema finally leaves prison, and he’s reunited with Elisa. At the hospital, Cesar tries to make amends with Chema, but he isn’t interested. Chema then tells Alex that he’s going to start a new life — he states they are “even” now.
Distraught that she has no family, Marianna overdoses. Chema finds her, and he’s instantly worried about her. Chema is emotional and tells his mother he wants an everyday life, and he remembers being raped in prison — he’s completely traumatized. Marianna tells her son that she was about to end her life, but then he turned up. Marianna wants access to Chema’s bank account, which includes Lorenzo’s money, so that they can live together. She has a lawyer ask Chema to sign the authorization.
A flashback shows Reinaldo talking to his colleagues about Sara being a good subject for their experiment. He planned for Sara to be introduced to Nicandro’s friends. Sara becoming part of that social group was all engineered.

Flashbacks show Sara going through a series of grueling experiments to find a cure for her mental illness, which repeatedly includes electricity to the brain. Further flashbacks show Sara struggling with hallucinations after she escaped the center. She is soon caught, and Reinaldo asks how she feels. He tells her he wants her to be the first patient to conquer schizophrenia with his experiment.
