Ángela's Disappearance Triggers Palace Alarm

The palace of La Promesa will be thrown into turmoil on Thursday, July 30, when young Ángela goes missing. The episode picks up after she secretly overheard Máximo confess to Leocadia that he is her father and that his plan was to take her away to separate her from her mother's influence. Shortly after this devastating revelation, Ángela vanishes, triggering a frantic search.

Manuel insists he noticed nothing unusual when he saw Ángela after dinner, while Curro returns from the barracks with no news. Leocadia immediately suspects Lorenzo, reminding him that he already kidnapped the girl once before. Though Lorenzo manages to convince her he is not behind the disappearance, the lack of clues heightens the tension across the estate.

Key Storylines Unfolding in Thursday's Episode

The Paternity Bombshell and Its Fallout

Ángela's discovery that Máximo is her father – heard in the worst possible way – is the engine of the episode. Her disappearance is directly linked to that shock, and the search mobilises multiple characters. Leocadia's confrontation with Lorenzo adds a layer of old grievances, while the uncertainty leaves the audience guessing whether Ángela left of her own accord or was taken.

María's Baby Name Sparks Emotional Reactions

While the palace panics, a parallel storyline follows María Fernández, who has decided to name her daughter Jana – the name of the show's legendary protagonist. Julieta admits to Manuel she felt jealous upon hearing the child would carry that iconic name, and Pía tells Ricardo how Leocadia reacted. The name choice also leads María to ask Samuel to perform the baptism, a request that makes Carlo uncomfortable because he witnessed a kiss between María and Samuel days earlier.

Love, Rivalries and Kitchen Wars

Martina and Adriano's secret romance deepens after they finally sleep together; she slips away at dawn, but the couple appears more committed than ever. Meanwhile, a comedic but tense war continues in the kitchens. Despite warnings, the cooks persist in hiding vegetables in the food for Julio, who despises them. Cristóbal, having overheard the plan, unexpectedly sides with the cooks and supports their prank against Julio.
