After Rafael is freed by Sebastian and the ride off the scene shifts to Anna preparing to leave her hacienda compound to visit Isabella. She’s met at the entrance by Ignacio who asks to accompany her. She tells him she can take care of her daughter herself. She then climbs into her carriage and the driver takes her away.
