The first episode of Day One introduces us to Ulises (Álex González) who has lived in seclusion for the better part of a decade following the death of his sister. Out of the blue, he’s contacted by his old programming partner Samuel (Asier Etxeandia) who has discovered something dark at the heart of tech billionaire Diskin’s (Jordi Mollà) next release. Uncovering the dangerous truth about the product that might put millions in jeopardy, Samuel reconnects with Ulises but is killed before the details can be explained leaving the programmer on the run both from the police (who mistakenly believe him to be responsible for Samuel), Diskin and his agents, and the assassin (Renata Notni) who killed Samuel whose true allegiance has yet to be determined.

Zorro - The Three Funeral Mask Dance

The final episode of the season resolves the long-running subplot of Guadalupe Montoro (Cecilia Suárez) without much fanfare. Given the number of episodes this thread was teased, Diego (Miguel Bernardeau) simply turning over land to his fake half-brother  (Joel Bosqued) feels underwhelming as there is no real payoff, at least not this season.

In “Mask Games,” Diego’s (Miguel Bernardeau) actions force the Governor (Rodolfo Sancho) to put up the Ramirez land for auction. With the help of the an unlikely ally, and Mei (Chacha Huang) as their go between, Diego is able to keep the Russians from the bidding on the land although he himself is also kept away with his introduction to the secret cult of the Bear Clan, leaving Bernardo (Paco Tous) to place the last minute winning bid. So far, the fumbled development of the secret society has been one of the show’s only mistakes.

Zorro - The Execution

“Execution” offers the chance for a limited alliance between Diego (Miguel Bernardeau) and Nah-Lin (Dalia Xiuhcoatl) who work together to free the Native American captives the Governor (Rodolfo Sancho) is holding before he kills them without a trial. Nah-Lin choosing to return the kidnapped Ramirez (Rubén Darío Gomez), in an effort to save her men, who shows up only a little worse the wear only to not make it out of the Governor’s office alive also clues Monasterio (Emiliano Zurita) further into the kind of man he’s working for leading him to choose to let Zorro escape at the end of the episode.
