To protect her daughter, Alicja Mazur takes the blame for shooting Paweł. Meanwhile, she is certain of her acquittal with a recording in which Paweł confesses to killing Ludmiła.

After regaining consciousness, Paweł testifies that Hanka shot him. Serafin does everything to ensure his daughter receives the lowest possible sentence. Alicja, with Basia's help, postpones her Supreme Court trial.

Alicja does everything to move Hanka to her cell; otherwise, her daughter won't survive in prison. However, manipulated by Kosa, Hanka conflicts with her mother.

The conflict between Hanka and Alicja grows. The teenager struggles to accept that her mother hid the truth about Serafin from her.

Thanks to Alicja's efforts, Hanka finally ends up in her cell. Unfortunately, after swallowing a bag of drugs, Hanka's condition worsens. Alicja prepares for the worst while seeking those responsible.

Alicja, locked in solitary confinement after beating Kosa, undergoes a real hell - she receives news of her daughter's death. The police bust a women trafficking ring, but for Paweł, the game is not over.

Alicja decides to report Hepner's crimes against Hanka to the prosecutor. However, her daughter fears speaking about what happened in his office.

A riot initiated by Alicja spreads to other units of the Zabrze prison. The situation becomes dramatic when the self-proclaimed leader Amfisa uses the chaos for vigilante justice.

The echoes of the riot continue, as prison manager Hepner teaches the inmates a harsh lesson in humility. Bans, restrictions, and mandatory runs in the exercise yard become the daily routine.

Alicja faces the loss of Serafin as Hepner triumphs. Kosa remains suspected of child abuse. "Penis" ensures this information spreads through the cells.

Commissioner Piotrowski obtains evidence that Serafin didn't commit suicide. Kosa fights in court for her child's rights, but losing her parental rights is not the only problem facing Basia and "Penis".

Pati, framed by Hepner for car theft, returns to prison. She is transported to the Zabrze penal institution along with Pola Nawrot - the organizer of a women's auction.

Thanks to Swiet, Alicja learns the truth about Dorota Wójcik, and through Kraszecki, she discovers Hepner's past. One of the past's secrets is Kraszecki's brother.

After spending a night with Kraszecki, Alicja is uncertain if she can trust him. She discovers that Natalia, a girl scarred by acid, is the fiancée of Kraszecki's missing brother.

The police search General Rabczuk's summer house, where Marek Kraszecki was murdered, looking for evidence against Hepner.
