He is visited by his upstairs neighbor, a 13-year-old girl named Ruth who continuously threatens to frame Jesús for pedophilia as he rebuffs her advances.

In shock, Jesús sits still while staring at the corpse before beginning to clean up the blood in the apartment; he places Cayetanín's headless body in his crib, but is too scared to pick up his severed head which is underneath a chair.

María's mood improves when Jesús tells her about the table's glass pane being broken on the first day after the purchase, while he conceals Cayetanín's death from her.

As the atmosphere in the dining room grows increasingly tense, the dog sniffs out Cayetanín's severed head which causes Jesús to go catatonic, Cristina to vomit, and Ruth to start screaming.

Some time later, police officers gather outside the apartment discussing the case, which involves a dead couple and their decapitated baby.

Carlos sits catatonic in a police car, reportedly only being able to utter the phrase la mesita del comedor ('the coffee table') according to one of the agents.
