Paolo Sartori has crossed another finish line—this time, in the academic arena. His master's thesis, focused on the normalized abuse within high-performance sports, does more than expose a harsh reality; it redefines his purpose. With that newfound clarity, during his reunion with Camila in Italy, Paolo opens up about the path he wants to follow. Meanwhile, he prepares to compete in Paris, carrying not only the weight of physical training but also the certainty that once the Games are over, something in his life will have to change. The possibility of deepening his work in sports psychology becomes more tangible—and more demanding. Across the distance, he and Camila learn to stay connected through words, silences, and the kind of promises that slowly begin to take shape.

Back in Los Angeles, Camila carries the imprint of what she has lived—on her skin and in her heart. Her reunion with Paolo has opened new doors, but it also forces her to face long-delayed decisions. It is time to put her personal life in order: talk to her family, share her truth with those closest to her, and finally speak of the past without fear. Each step forward marks a new beginning.

Elsewhere on the map, Liam begins the slow process of rebuilding himself. The recording project proposed by George Matthews pushes him to reconnect with his roots, while Dylan becomes the strongest bridge between his past and his present. Being a father is no longer a distant notion—it is a reality that takes shape in every shared breakfast, in every note sung by his son in the children's choir.

An unexpected confession from Chester compels Camila to look back with different eyes, confronting the true weight her motherhood carried for Liam. Because when someone like Chester puts into words the grief of missing his daughter's early years, it is impossible not to see herself in that pain—to feel the sting of an invisible regret.

Across the ocean, the war in Ukraine escalates, and Maksym Lysenko finds himself in the midst of devastation. He does not know if Camila is truly his daughter, but a stubborn instinct haunts him. Knowing she is far from the conflict brings him solace... but also questions that may never find answers.

The Promise is a volume of deep transitions, of wounds that only partly heal, and of paths beginning to take shape. Relationships evolve, bonds are redefined, and each character must decide what burdens to carry—and which ones to finally let go—in order to keep moving forward.

Because some signs do not arrive in words, but they come just the same. And when they do, everything begins to change.
