The echoes of the riot continue, as prison manager Hepner teaches the inmates a harsh lesson in humility. Bans, restrictions, and mandatory runs in the exercise yard become the daily routine.

Alicja faces the loss of Serafin as Hepner triumphs. Kosa remains suspected of child abuse. "Penis" ensures this information spreads through the cells.

Commissioner Piotrowski obtains evidence that Serafin didn't commit suicide. Kosa fights in court for her child's rights, but losing her parental rights is not the only problem facing Basia and "Penis".

Pati, framed by Hepner for car theft, returns to prison. She is transported to the Zabrze penal institution along with Pola Nawrot - the organizer of a women's auction.

Thanks to Swiet, Alicja learns the truth about Dorota Wójcik, and through Kraszecki, she discovers Hepner's past. One of the past's secrets is Kraszecki's brother.

After spending a night with Kraszecki, Alicja is uncertain if she can trust him. She discovers that Natalia, a girl scarred by acid, is the fiancée of Kraszecki's missing brother.

The police search General Rabczuk's summer house, where Marek Kraszecki was murdered, looking for evidence against Hepner.
