Filippos quickly comes face to face with the unforgiving world of prisons. He learns about the bet on his name and pushes Maritina away from him to protect her before she has a chance tell him some important news.

Thaleia, desperate with her father's predicament, makes a decision that puts them in even greater danger. Rafail supports her, while at the same time trying to gather the evidence needed for the retrial of his friend's case.

The Police Sergeant assigns the role of a doctor to Filippos in prison, to stop the drug dealing. This infuriates Iagos, who attacks him along with his thugs, and Sergios sends Filippos straight to solitary confinement.

Rafail recovers from the accident, but realizes that his illness is getting worse. Together with Erietta and Thaleia, they speculate whether or not the car accident was a murder attempt after all.

Time has passed and Filippos has put the ward in order. Iagos gets angry and attacks Tzelos, prompting Filippos to offer him a deal: he will leave Tzelos alone in exchange for him helping him get back on his feet.

Filippos searches for Maritina and asks Rafail to help him find her. He lets him know that Maritina is having an affair with Iasonas, with whom she is raising their son.

Erietta's memories from the past come back to haunt her, causing her to experience inexplicable outbursts. Maritina and Iasonas get close and a photo of them reaches Filippos' hands. Rafail insists on finding new evidence to help Filippos, but he doesn't want to keep fighting to protect his family. Iagos has set his plan to kill Filippos in motion, knowing that he has no room for failure.

Filippos is admitted to the Intensive Care Unit of "Agios Symeon" with severe brain injury. Maritina arrives at the hospital and sees him after a long time, but their meeting does not go as she had expected. Sirhan is furious that Iagos has failed to kill Filippos in prison, so he takes matters into his own hands at the hospital.
