Clara eventually gives birth to a girl as she predicted, and names her Blanca. One day, the girl whom Esteban raped, Pancha García, appears at the family house with Esteban's illegitimate teenage son, Esteban García, and asks for money. Esteban Trueba gives them some money and harshly orders them never to come back, threatening to have his dogs attack them both if they return. His grown son does, however, sneak into the house one day while Clara and Esteban are gone. He approaches young Blanca while she is playing alone, holds her in his lap, and gently caresses her body. He quickly runs out after a few minutes, but this foreshadows dangerous events to come in the future for Blanca.
