1- The nurse in charge,- can't be quite sure about her name, but I think it was Ratched, Ranchid or something like that-, tells Alice Gould that she's crazy, and she replies back wondering about madness. The bossy head nurse gives Alice instructions galore.
2- The nice nurse, Montse - introduces the rest of the mad people to Alicia. In special, she introduces Duquesa, who says that everybody is a slave. Another day, they share opinions about the place during a walk around the garden.
3- Montse finds Alicia searching among the files. Alicia says there is a conspiration against her, as she didn't try to poison her husband. Montse can't believe that the head psychiatrist is conspiring against anybody.
4- Montse and Alicia peer over the wall and laugh about a tongue twister.
5- Montse consoles Alicia after she prevented her own rape. They talk about the avoided event, and the incoming rain.
6- Duquesa and Montse applaud Alicia's heroic behaviour during the fire.
7- Ratched and Alicia talked about Adela, the catatonic girl, who has just smiled.
8- Dr Elena Bernardos is named the new director of the psychiatric ward.
9- Alicia and Montse laugh while saying goodbye to each other.
10- Alicia interrupts Dr Bernardos, telling her to go with her to see something, so Bernardos rejects it kindly but firmly.
