With their imagination running wild, all sorts of theories were being dished out by the media. Not only this, but the press was also insensitive enough to stalk Kari was asking for her comments.
Kari is naturally distraught at her mom’s disappearance, especially because she is ridden with guilt for saying some hard things earlier to her mom. However, Cecilia reassures her that her mom is not angry with her.
The cops receive a letter suggesting that Veronica had an extramarital affair. Mario accepts that he knows about her affair but does not know what to do about it.
Meanwhile, Pizzaro meets Cecilia and suggests that she demand autonomy in Veronica’s disappearance case and be informed of all the proceedings taking place in this case.
As per Mario, the cops were not moving in the right direction and not even allowing him to help them solve the case.
Mario later receives Cecilia’s call asking him to meet her probably to appoint him her attorney.
