Paloma is disappointed to discover that the secret room is a bathroom. Gael emphasizes that it is highly important. They follow a group of tourists to one of Frida’s bedrooms, as Gael explains a little of the accident that Frida experienced at age 18. He points out an urn in the room which contains Frida’s ashes. Paloma finds the urn itself dingy and not worthy of the splendor that is Frida. To pay respects, she speaks to Frida, telling her how much her father appreciated her art.
As they walk through the various parts of the house, Paloma is struck with an idea: Perhaps there is a second locked room and Diego hid the ring there. Gael is skeptical, but Paloma says that they should explore this theory until they can disprove it. First, however, Gael drags her toward the lemonade stand.
There they find Mr. Farill, Tavo’s father. He explains that he is there picking up some items for his wife, who is helping to plan Frida’s party. After they part ways, Gael and Paloma continue outside to the courtyard. Behind some trees, they find a locked door. Gael convinces Paloma that they should sneak in at midnight to try to open the door.
