Plot summary
Young Nancy was praying to Holy Death in her room, while her father banged on her door for her to open. By the time her father opened the door, Nancy was possessed by a demon. She was soon visited by Elvis and Keta Infante, who helped her get back to normal, but still have the ability to invite demons.

In present day, Ramiro and Nancy visit Mariana's room, where Ramiro confesses that he had no idea he had a daughter. They look for traces of the demon who took Mariana in the house. Nancy says the house reeks of demon. They decide to see Lucía's body to see if they can find anything and to talk to Isaac "El Indio" because only he could help with level 2 demons. Meanwhile, Mariana finds her phone underwater and calls her home, which is heard by Keta. Ramiro picks up, but is too late because Mariana loses signal.

The group gets ready to visit El Indio while Keta looks for where Lucía's body is. Elvis, Ramiro, and Nancy make it inside to El Indio's hideout. Inside, it is crowded and there are demons fighting an a sort of cage which had crystals through which people could see demons in their true form. Elvis and the group are taken to Isaac so Elvis can bargain with him. Once they get there, Elvis asks to catch the demon that took Mariana, and give it to Isaac. Isaac gets fed up and points a gun at them. Nancy, in order to save them tells Isaac that she'll go up against his best demon. El Indio doesn't seem very convinced at first, but gives in, and orders the demons to be prepared. He also orders for Ramiro to be kicked out.



Isaac chooses the demons Nancy will fight her opponent with while Ramiro waits outside and tries to get in. Nancy starts counting down from ten and cutting her hand while reminiscing on her past, remembering how she showed up at Elvis' house years ago, ultimately getting possessed by a demon. Ramiro gets into a room where he hears a girl calling out so he goes to investigate while Nancy seems to be overtaking her opponent. However, when it seems Nancy is going to win, Isaac orders for her to be electrocuted. Weakened, Nancy starts getting punched by her opponent relentlessly until Elvis rushes in and electrocutes the opponent as well. With Nancy unconscious, Isaac tries waking her up by playing some music through her headphones. When Nancy wakes up, Elvis is dragged out of the ring while the young woman defeats her opponent. Ramiro finds the girl who was calling for help, asking if she was Mariana. The girl said she was, so Ramiro promised to return soon in order to help her get out of the cell she was put in. However, when he opens the cell and gets closer, he finds out it was not Mariana, but several demons who start chasing him as he runs away.

With Nancy having won, Elvis tells Isaac his debt is clear, but Isaac argues that Nancy fought with her own demon, so it didn't count. Angry, Elvis calls Isaac "El Indio", who does not appreciate it and draws a knife on Elvis. As the argument heats up, Ramiro runs in with all the demons chasing him, calling for help. Chaos arises and while Ramiro and Nancy head outside, Elvis heads to Isaac's garage, where he steals a car he calls "The Hound".



Keta is in the morgue, asking to see Lucía Cruz's body. The man there asks if she's family, so Keta bribes him in order to see it. She calls Elvis to confirm she found Lucía's body. Yhey get to the morgue, Elvis finds out Lucía's body has Mayakén's mark, making Elvis reconsider helping Ramiro out. However, Nancy is able to convince him to keep helping by telling him they could find Mayakén. However, Ramiro tells them that the body they were seeing was not Lucía's, but a woman named Ana Paula's body.

While this happens, Mariana is able to escape from underground where the demon had her and finds she's deep in the woods. She sees the demon who took her in front of her, so she starts running until she's able to hide. However, she drops her phone. She stays put until a woman picks her up and hugs her, telling her they need to move so the demon doesn't catch them.
