Michalis manages to avoid arrest and returns with the "orchestrator" to the hideout. There they decide that the kidnapping must end immediately and contact the police demanding the ransom and giving a final deadline. Thalia learns for the first time that Michalis is one of the kidnappers, while the police delay negotiations as they get closer and closer to identifying the perpetrators. Athena reveals to Thalia the real reasons that led her to leave Vassilis and the Karousou family is shaken by the revelations surrounding the case of corruption in the Vathi community. A child's sudden illness will complicate things inside the hideout and the perpetrators will be divided over his surrender. At the same time, the police arrive for the first time to locate the "organizer's" phone number.
