The tale of two 9-year-old Chinese girls told parallel to one another. The two start school in Madrid: they look alike, but they are very different: Lucia is the daughter of immigrants. She feels Spanish, she wants to fit in, but her parents don't speak Spanish and they work all day long. They don't even want her to celebrate her birthday at Burger King. Xiang is adopted. She attracts attention wherever she goes with her Spanish parents. She feels neither Chinese nor accepted by the children at school.

Late December 1994. The entire Alcántara family, except for Carlos, who still lives with Karina in New York, meet as per tradition for New Year's Eve to see out the year together. Before the celebration, like every year, Mercedes has a check-up for her earlier breast cancer, which makes her reconsider all sorts of things. After talking it over with Antonio, the two come to an important financial decision that will unexpectedly turn the family "upside-down". Premiere of the first episode in the new season of the series.

La Ternura tells the tale of a witch-like queen and her two princess daughters who travel with the Invincible Armada, obliged by Philip II to wed English noblemen in arranged marriages once the invasion of England is done and dusted. Queen Esmeralda hates men because they have always ruled her life and deprived her of her freedom and she is determined that her daughters will not share the same fate. When the Armada passes alongside an island that the Queen believes to be deserted, she whips up a storm that sinks their ship. The plan is to stay on the island forever with her daughters so that they will never have to see another man as long as they live.
