She is matched with an older guy, and they agree to meet in a restaurant, but he turns out to be none other than Javier's father Damián, making Natalia rush out of the place in embarrassment when he indirectly brings Javier up. Sofía and Raúl eventually find Gerry, but before they can deal with him, Pablo, seeing the three together, furiously charges at Raúl, calling him out for harbouring a killer but also mistakenly believing that Sofía was his accomplice, before being forcefully removed by the bouncers after he aggressively shoves her to the ground trying to stop him.

Target of the Avenger: Quintanilla, who is locked up in the men's restroom and stung by bees. | ||||||
15 | 7 | "Control Z" | Alejandro Lozano & Bernardo de la Rosa | Miguel García Moreno & Carlos Quintanilla Sakar | 4 August 2021 | |
In a flashback, the lonely Luis is shown drawing each of the students and their predicted punishments. Sofía shows the drawings to her father, noticing that most of the humiliating punishments are similar to the drawings except for Gerry and Raúl. She later finds out about Quintanilla's affair with Susana, thus severing ties with Raúl for keeping the information from her and demanding that Quintanilla tell Nora or she will. However, the gym teacher, also Susana's husband, arrives at Quintanilla's house when he's with Nora, and punches him before he can tell her, implying that he had somehow already found out. Meanwhile, Damián agrees to give the money to Natalia only if she brings María, who starts avoiding Claudia after the kiss. Alex is revealed to be the reason why Gerry became hostile towards Luis, since she encouraged him to show a drawing he made of Gerry. In effect to that, Gerry used this new personality to mask his true feelings and avoid being made fun of at school after his homophobic abusive father accused him of being gay for accepting the drawing. Susana has students's bags and lockers searched up to see if there's any flammable material that can be used in attacking Rosita (as she could be the next possible victim , as revealed by Luis's drawings), but no proof is found. Gerry visits Marta and they have a heart-to-heart conversation, with the latter lamenting that the other students are suffering because of the Avenger, knowing that Luis would've never wanted any of these incidents to happen; he decides to turn himself in to the police as a way to make up for his previous behavior. Rosita ignores Sofía's warnings about the Avenger wanting to target her. Gabriela leaves for Spain without Alex and breaks up with her, leaving Alex heartbroken. Pablo still wants to get revenge on Raúl, forcing a confession out of him until Gerry shows up to defend him by knocking Pablo unconscious. At the same time, Javier is horrified upon witnessing Natalia and his father making out, and Sofía faints after the Avenger switched one of her pills, prompting Rosita to rush to her aid. Target of the Avenger: Sofía, who "faints" after one of her pills was switched. Rosita was intended as the next victim but it never came to happen. | ||||||
16 | 8 | "The Ultimate Revenge" (Spanish: "La última venganza") | Bernardo de la Rosa & Alejandro Lozano | Miguel García Moreno | 4 August 2021 | |
Natalia catches up to Javier and tries to explain the situation, but he breaks up with her; she is even more frustrated given that it is the last day she was supposed to turn the money in. Raúl, knowing that Pablo still loves Isabela, criticizes him for refusing to accept the truth and not having been there for her when she needed him the most, inspiring him to make things right with María before leaving. He also suggests to Gerry that they locate the Avenger in order to get to the bottom of the mystery. It is revealed that Sofía never actually took the pills and staged her accident to mislead the attacker. She and Javier admit to being wrong to trust their former partners and team up again to keep searching for the culprit. Quintanilla is upset at Susana for ruining his engagement to Nora as she happened to be the one who told Güero about the affair, explaining that she couldn't keep letting Raúl blackmail her. Meanwhile, María is informed that Natalia has been kidnapped and the dealers demand the money paid that night, threatening to kill Natalia if the police get involved. Claudia decides to help her and they also manage to sort out the problem with the kiss, with the remorseful Pablo tagging along. As Gerry enters the school, Raúl is attacked again by the Avenger and snatches from him the same gun that was once used by Gerry to kill him and got Javier accidentally injured, which Raúl kept hidden after finding him. Sofía deduces that the Avenger is Alex; she buried Ernesto and Dario, spray-painted the lockers, set Luis's house on fire, poisoned María, assaulted Natalia, simulated her own kidnapping and left Quintanilla to be stung by the bees, as she wanted everyone to feel as guilty as she was for Luis's death, angered at their indifference after they did nothing about it. It is also revealed that she had stolen Raúl's money, a mistake she made "out of love", in order to start a new life with Gabriela, initially contemplating on abandoning her Avenger plans to be with her, but still carrying on after she had left. Alex then threatens Gerry into jumping off the roof. However, Sofía manages to talk her out of it, saying that she is not a murderer, and the repented Alex sobbingly apologizes to Sofía. Javier then picks up the gun and aims at Raúl, demanding his money to save Natalia's life, but Raúl defiantly refuses; earlier, Javier had tipped off María and Claudia about the money's location. María and Claudia attempt to steal the money from Luis's locker, but they are caught by Susana, and the trio heads to the roof after Javier's yelling attracts their attention. Sofía, Javier, Raúl, María, Claudia and Susana then wrestle over the money bag, ending with Susana and the bag falling off the roof, killing her in the process. Witnessing this from the ground, Pablo snatches up the money and drives off, while Javier, Alex, Gerry and Claudia look on in horror, but Sofía, Raúl and María don't show emotion and stand over the edge of the roof looking at Susana's lifeless corpse. The season ends with another aerial shot zooming out. Target of the Avenger: Gerry, who was vainly forced to jump off the roof as a way to pay for Luis's death with his life. |

María and Natalia, on the other hand, have left the city after their parents found out about her kidnapping. With her death ruled as a suicide and the body nowhere to be found, the group makes a pact to keep their involvement a secret so that their futures won't be tarnished. Meanwhile, during a party he is hosting, @_allyoursecrets_, the hacker account previously owned by Raúl, resurfaces; a drone shows up and hands him over a note explicitly stating that they know about Susana and have gathered all the proof implicating them as murder accomplices.

A flashback shows María, after she and Natalia moved to Acapulco with their parents in light of her sister's kidnapping (which proved to be the last straw for the sudden decision), going through a depression phase after the whole Susana situation ended up traumatizing her, eventually causing María to commit suicide by drowning. Despite María's death, Sofía nevertheless decides to keep an eye on Natalia by convincing her to move in with her; she also deduces that Natalia ran away from Acapulco behind her parents' backs under the pretext of attending the careers fair in order to seek answers behind the new hacker. Raúl suspects something is wrong when he repeatedly refreshes his bank account app. Since he is still unable to afford the hotel, he flees. Sofía, Javier and Alex suspect that Sebastián, Claudia's drama teacher, who is dating her despite being a student, might be @_allyoursecrets_ because of the drama exercise recreating Susana's death. Sofía questions Claudia, who refuses to give up any information. The hacker creates a misunderstanding between Pablo and Claudia when posing as both her and Sebastián, causing Claudia to mistakenly assume that Pablo reverted to the toxic person he was before.

Pablo gets hospitalized after his accident; there, Sofía and Javier find out that @_allyoursecrets_ took advantage of his vulnerability following the confrontation with Claudia, manipulating him into driving drunk and almost attempting to kill Raúl. Adrián, a football player who bullies Javier, is attacked by one of the hackers, mistaking him for Javier as he had previously stolen his school sweater, crippling both of his legs and bounding him to a wheelchair. Natalia reveals to Sofía, Javier and Raúl that @_allyoursecrets_ sent her in to spy on them as she started to suspect that something was off when she saw the article of Susana's death and that everything she does is to seek justice for María.

21 | 5 | "Helena" (Spanish: "Helena") | Bernardo de la Rosa & Alejandro Lozano | Luis Gamboa | 6 July 2022 | |
In a flashback to the night of Susana's death, after Sofía fainted and got drugged, Javier turned to his father, who hired some people to hide the body inside Güero's home; Javier didn't know until very much later and couldn't find a proper way to tell Sofía, who in response breaks up with him. @_allyoursecrets_ orders Natalia to send pictures of Sofía's house and her school schedule in return of telling her the cause of María's suicide. Alex tries to warn Claudia about Sebastián, who only gave her a role for an upcoming play just because they're dating, but she doesn't believe her. Just as the hearing of Sofía's father is about to begin, however, it's cut short when the lawyer representing him abruptly drops out of the case. It turns out that the lawyer was hired by Raúl, who traded his watch in a futile attempt to pay him the amount of money he owed following his eviction; although Sofía keeps making it clear she doesn't need his help, Raúl professes his feelings for her. Coincidentally, Javier arrives at Sofía's where Natalia, who was taking a dip in the bathtub, tells him that she wanted to feel closer to María. Just as they kiss, Javier backs out and admits to the role he played with his father in hiding Susana's body. Sofía finds a drone from the hacker that has an address code which (after decoding it with Alex and Ernesto) leads her to the home of a young woman who she bumped with some days ago when she visited her father. The woman reveals herself to be also a daughter of Sofía's father, leaving Sofía heartbroken. One of the hackers breaks into the hospital and attempts to asphyxiate Pablo to death.

22 | 6 | "Game Master" (Spanish: "Gamer Master") | Bernardo de la Rosa & Alejandro Lozano | Mariana Palos | 6 July 2022 | |
Sofía confronts her father for lying about his past and decides that him staying imprisoned is enough punishment for his actions. Meanwhile, Javier gathers the group, save for Pablo and Gerry, to improvise a plan. However, Sofía grows impatient and calls the hacker, and they, in response, instruct each of them to turn one of their friends in, having until 5pm to do so, only for the rest to abruptly back out after Claudia starts throwing accusations of who might be the hacker, making Sofía the Game Master. On the hacker's orders, Raúl violently trashes the cafeteria while Sofía records it in her cellphone, getting himself expelled in the process; Javier also kicks Raúl out of his house. Later on, using the identity of the kid Javier tackled earlier, she logs in a computer to find the cult's current location and uses a mask left behind to blend in. After running out of time, the hacker forces Sofía to post the secrets of her friends so their involvement in Susana's death won't be exposed, including Pablo's drunk driving, Claudia's relationship with the drama teacher, telling on Natalia to her parents for running away and outing Gerry as gay, later resulting in him getting brutally beaten up by the homophobic inmates. As for Raúl, he is lured into a trap trying to seek a new home and gets kidnapped by the cult. Sofía realizes that Alex was indirectly responsible for Raúl's kidnapping as she gave him a fake address. She begs them to let Raúl go, to no avail as they threaten to expose the truth should Sofía tell anyone about this. | ||||||
23 | 7 | "I Am @allyoursecrets" (Spanish: "Yo soy @todotusssecretos") | Bernardo de la Rosa & Alejandro Lozano | Mariana Palos & Luis Gamboa | 6 July 2022 | |
Raúl confesses to being behind the hackings, turning most of the student body against Sofía, including her friends, deeming her irrational when she repeatedly claims that he is in danger and only made the confession under threat; the principal also threatens to deprive Sofía from doing the speech, but Quintanilla vouches for her. Gerry is allowed to serve his two last months at his home, but since he doesn't want to return to his parents, he tries desperately to find a new place to live. Luis's mother empathizes with his situation and decides to become his legal guardian and give him shelter at her home. Natalia is to depart for Acapulco after being caught on her lie. However, Javier, realizing that he still loves her, rushes to the terminal, arriving in time just as the bus was about to leave and begs Natalia to stay by admitting his feelings for her. Although Alex doesn't believe Sofía about Raúl getting kidnapped, she does agree to look on the kid's backpack in case she finds any leads. After hearing that Ernesto won a contest, she questions him and deduces that he was the one who put the drama exercise with Pablo's name on it and the hacker got ahold of each of the group's individual graduation videos through a pendrive from Quintanilla's computer. Sofía also learns that Bruno was the one who gave Ernesto the instructions in exchange for money. Confronting him, Bruno reveals to Sofía that he is @_allyoursecrets_ and blames Raúl, who used to pass him money to protect him in jail while being the scapegoat for all of his crimes, until the inmates started beating him up after he stopped fulfilling his part of the deal; following his release, Bruno was no longer allowed to touch any computer or able to get a job. Despite this, Bruno violated the order and hacked into Raúl's phone, where he found out about Sofía and the group's involvement in Susana's death. In addition, he opened a forum named "No Impunity" to share his plight, which gained him a lot of followers who have been through a similar situation concerning the school's rich kids and how they always manage to get away with everything through their connections. Initially skeptical because his followers are out of his hands, Bruno decides to take Sofía to the lair where Raúl is held captive. However, Sofía is cornered and captured while making her way inside. | ||||||
24 | 8 | "Graduation" (Spanish: "Graduación") | Alejandro Lozano & Bernardo de la Rosa | Miguel García Moreno | 6 July 2022 | |
As the graduation ceremony approaches, Gerry turns to the group for help as he suspects that someone is impersonating Raúl's contact. His claims are initially dismissed but immediately backed up by Alex, who confirms Sofía's theory by finding a QR code on a drawing that led her to the "No Impunity" forum, in which they locate the cell where Sofía and Raúl are held hostage. They also realize that @_allyoursecrets_ intends to project Susana's real cause of death during the graduation. Javier, Natalia, Pablo and Gerry go to rescue Sofía and Raúl while Alex and Claudia go to the school to prevent the video from being played. Recalling some tricks she learned on escape rooms, Sofía and Raúl manage to outsmart the hackers by escaping through a ventilation duct, leaving three of them locked up. On their way out, they encounter and release Güero, who was also captured. Meanwhile, Javier and the others manage to enter after he breaks the gates open with his father's car. The video of the students, alongside the group's involvement in Susana's death, is played, but Alex and Claudia manage to stop it in time. However, Güero sees the video back at the lair and, in a fit of rage, attempts to kill Sofía and Raúl as revenge for lying to him, then attacks Javier, Pablo and Gerry as well, until Natalia, who stayed behind to guard, steps in and hits him in the head when he attempts to choke Javier. Realizing that Bruno lied to her and was just using them as pawns, Sofía asks the other hackers, who were a bunch of kids blackmailed into doing his dirty work, to remove their masks and they all turn on him. The group then rushes back to the school graduation, where Sofía gives her speech and expresses their culpability in Susana's death, resulting in them being sentenced to do community service for it and Javier's father getting imprisoned for his secondary role in hiding the corpse. A few months later, Sofía and Javier meet up at a cafe where Javier tells her that he thinks Raúl has been @_allyoursecrets_ all along as he schemed everything to keep them separated from each other. Nevertheless, Sofía laughingly dismisses this theory and leaves, but she doesn't tell Raúl when she catches up with him outside and they ride off in his motorcycle into the distance. |
