During the national election, Esteban believes his Conservative Party will win as usual, but the People's Front ends up winning control of the government. Blanca goes out on the street to celebrate and to meet Pedro, now a leading figure in the People's Front. Clara stays home with Alba to decorate the house for Christmas. She appears to have a heart attack, but before she passes away, she gently explains to her granddaughter that she has always been in touch with spirits on the other side, and when she dies, she will be in contact with Alba, as well as the rest of the family. Right before her spirit passes, Clara instructs the little girl to give the diaries she has kept all her life to her mother Blanca, so that "she may understand better how events are related.” Clara's death hits everyone hard, signaling major changes for the whole family.
