The episode’s opening scene takes place in a hospital. There, medical professionals ensure Lucas and his mother that the self-inflicted injuries he sustained are not life-threatening. This news thereby allays their immediate worries. Upon their return home, Lucas’ mother begins questioning him about the sudden appearance of surveillance cameras within the house. Lucas openly admits that he funded this covert setup using his personal savings, with the installation occurring right before his mother moved in.
In the interest of maintaining the secrecy of their newfound operation, Lucas and his mother agree to spy on their household. They do this without the knowledge of other members. To further cloak their activities, they decide to conceal the laptop functioning as the operation’s epicenter. Meanwhile, unbeknownst to them, the grandfather has already pieced together their secret plan. In a surprising twist, Lucas’ mother receives a call from his school informing her of Lucas’ absence. We find out that Lucas is with his grandfather. His grandfather, upon learning about the surveillance setup, proposes a job offer to Lucas, which he readily accepts.
Simultaneously, another storyline unfolds with Camila acquiring an expensive new car, sparking David’s curiosity about her financial sources. Although Camila claims she funded the purchase through her personal savings, David remains skeptical. Later, using the card she previously unearthed in Miguel’s room, Camila visits a spa, hoping to glean more information about him. However, her plan hits a snag when a friend of Miguel’s recognizes her. Despite the close call, she manages to make a swift exit, evading his scrutiny.
As the episode nears its end, Pedro confides in Angela about his surveillance activities centered on Miguel, divulging that he intentionally left Lucas out of this scheme. Pedro then probes Angela’s inclination to assume control of the family enterprise, expressing his preference to entrust her with this responsibility rather than her son-in-law. Angela, however, departs abruptly, without uttering a response.
The suspense escalates to an apex when the masked figure from the previous episode reappears, infiltrating Camila’s house and assaulting her, leaving her injured. A frantic Camila flees her house, bloodied, in search of help. As the episode reaches its dramatic climax, viewers are served a shocking twist. The identity of the masked man is revealed to be none other than Lucas. This startling revelation signals the conclusion of the episode, leaving fans of ‘Fake Profile’ bracing for the repercussions of this revelation in the forthcoming installment.
Fake Profile is now streaming on Netflix.
