In the thrilling and intense episode of La Promessa, Giana stages her death to uncover a deadly secret that has been buried for years. The night falls over the grand Palazzo della Promesa, as Giana lies in a servant’s room, gravely wounded from a gunshot. The pain and determination are evident on her face as she fights for her life, having just confronted Cruz and Leocadia, demanding answers about the murder of her mother, Dolores. That fateful confrontation ends tragically with a gunshot in the darkness, leaving Giana on the brink of death.
Desperate, Giana realizes that the culprits who tried to kill her will strike again if she doesn’t act fast. She decides to fake her own death to outsmart them. With her loyal friends Maria and Pia by her side, Giana plans her survival, knowing it’s the only way to get close to her enemies and expose them for their crimes. In a moment of quiet resolve, she whispers her plan, convincing her friends to help her carry it out, despite the emotional toll it takes on them.
The doctor arrives, and with Manuel, Giana’s husband, by his side, the plan unfolds. Giana uses a concoction of laudanum and herbs, a remedy she learned during her time working with a physician, to slow her pulse until it almost stops. As the doctor checks her pulse and confirms her death, Manuel is devastated, his cries echoing through the halls. The grief-stricken moment is witnessed by her brother Curro, who is left in disbelief, while Maria and Pia put on a convincing show of sorrow. However, under the sheets, Giana’s fingers twitch slightly, proving she’s still alive.
The façade is completed, and Giana’s body is prepared for burial, while the house is in turmoil. News of her “death” spreads quickly, and emotions run high, particularly for Manuel, who is inconsolable. Meanwhile, Cruz and Leocadia, who have played a sinister role in the murder of Dolores, try to conceal their guilt, though their actions are beginning to unravel.
In the quiet aftermath, Giana, hidden from view, rises and makes her escape, taking advantage of her knowledge of the secret passageways within the Palazzo della Promesa. As she sneaks away, the house remains in shock, while Giana prepares to confront the killers responsible for her mother’s death. Her journey is fraught with danger as she uses every bit of cunning she has to outwit Cruz and Leocadia, who believe their dark secrets are safe.
As Giana listens in on a private conversation between Cruz and Leocadia, she hears them confess to their involvement in Dolores’s murder, with Leocadia revealing their cruel actions. Giana’s heart pounds as she hears her mother’s name spoken in the shadows, and she realizes that the truth is closer than ever. But as the stakes rise, Giana is determined to uncover the full extent of the conspiracy, even if it means risking everything.
