1	"El viaje de tu vida" ("The Trip of Your Life")	Daniel Benmayor	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Zoa, seeking to escape her addict mother and absent father, accepts an invitation to an exclusive, secretive festival on a mysterious island. Her best friend Judith invites herself which is against the contract Zoa signed. Arriving on the island, all partygoers are given a wristband. Later, several wristbands light up and the people are given a mysterious drink - Blue Eden. Fran, one of the island members who disagrees with its methods, is tortured for disobedience, which is witnessed by a shocked Judith. Zoa wakes up the next day to discover she and four others are the only ones left on the island. Zoa, Africa, Ibon, Charly, and a suspicious Aldo are invited to stay on Eden by Astrid - the leader. Judith wakes up alone and confused, but she is quickly grabbed by an unseen assailant.
2	"Evaluación" ("Evaluation")	Menna Fité	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Fran tries to escape the island but is caught and executed. Aldo is highly suspicious and doubtful of the foundation's intentions. Zoa is directed to Module 8 where she meets her roommates Nico, who had saved her the night of the festival, and the soft-spoken Claudia. Still worried about Judith, Zoa asks Orson about her whereabouts, but he feigns ignorance. Ibón and Alma bond over their love of playing piano. Zoa is later chosen to do an evaluation in which she describes her life: she and her little sister Gabi had to take care of themselves. Their parents got divorced due to their mother's heroin addiction, something that made Zoa feel bad about Gabi getting her hopes up since she would get excited every time her mother left the rehab clinic, only for her to relapse again. Astrid then made Zoa repeat out loud that her mother hated her. Gabi, on the other hand, is upset that Zoa doesn't show up for her 16th birthday. During nightfall, Zoa sees a little boy who quickly vanishes before she can look closely.
3	"Fiesta de despedida" ("Farewell Party")	Menna Fité	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Ulises, the foundation's head of security, lets the five new members know that he weather had cleared and the boat would arrive at noon the next day to pick them up. Still suspicious, Aldo accuses Ulises of lying to them and decides to plan his own escape. He gets into a boat, but is caught by Brenda who shoots him in the head, killing him. Astrid and her husband Erick take an interest in África. During the farewell party, Alma helps Ibón confront his fears and makes an impressive piano performance; the two admit their feelings for each other and kiss. Claudia tells Charly that he and their friends will never leave the island. Gabi realizes that Zoa's warnings about her mother relapsing might make sense after she shows little interest about her disappearance.
4	"La otra orilla" ("The Other Shore")	Daniel Benmayor	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Zoa grows suspicious when Aldo goes missing. Bel has Eloy, a deaf member of the foundation and a friend of hers, pass her Orson's access card, going through the IT area where she finds out that both África and Ibón, having willingly decided to stay in Eden, had passed while Aldo was "eliminated". Zoa's status, on the other hand, remains pending, because she "possesses leadership qualities" but is "bitter" and "disobedient". Meanwhile, Gabi searches through Zoa's bedroom, where she finds a text in her other phone from David, a man she met at the Blue Eden party and takes a bus to San Sebastian to find more answers, leaving her mother behind. Ibón's father also hires a private investigator to bring him back. During another evaluation, Charly frustratingly admits to parttaking in his sister's death when she drowned during a swimming dare after failing to watch over her and that he was blamed for it. Astrid sympathizes with Charly, telling him that no child should ever be blamed for a loved one's death, which in turn angers Zoa and calls Astrid out for her hypocrisy. Nico takes Zoa to an underground cave where she is horrified to find Judith's dead body.
5	"Tormenta" ("Storm")	Daniel Benmayor	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
In a flashback to the morning after the party, Orson and Brenda shot and pushed Judith off a cliff for witnessing Fran's torture, despite fearfully promising that she wouldn't say anything. At night, there is an emergency due to a storm and everyone is asked to gather at Module 1, except for Charly who is injured from an electric explosion; Mayka, the person in charge of the I.T. area, tends to him and they sleep together. Zoa brings Ibón to the cave to show him Judith's body, but it is nowhere to be seen. Although not believing her at first, her warning tips Ibón off as Zoa was describing a painting from Patinir in which Charon was looking at hell, therefore deducing that someone wanted to scare Zoa into submission with this reveal. Bel tells Zoa not to trust Nico because he is her "link", a person that keeps newcomers in the island. After being confronted about it by Zoa, Nico alerts Astrid, revealing that she ordered him to show Zoa the body. Astrid and Erick then reprimand Zoa for not taking the chances she was offered, blaming her for indirectly causing Judith's death because of her breaching the contract she signed. Brenda attempts to kill Zoa, but ultimately spares her after pleading for another chance and falsely telling them that she heard the term from Aldo. Sneaking out of Module 1, Ibón finally finds Judith's body in a boat, much to his horror. After meeting with David, Gabi decides to stay in San Sebastian to get herself invited to the island and retrace her sister's whereabouts. Zoa attempts to kill Nico with a screwdriver, but is stopped by Claudia from doing so, which is witnessed by Alma.
6	"Rebelión" ("Rebellion")	Menna Fité	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Claudia tells Zoa that the C+F mark on the bed stands for "Claudia and Fran"; Fran used to be Claudia's link and deeply cared about her, only to get himself killed trying to do the right thing, warning her to stay away from Bel because she is planning a rebellion against Astrid. Alma threatens Claudia into staying quiet. Charly starts to doubt Mayka's intentions when his mother sends him, through her, an angry text for missing the anniversary of his sister's death. Gabi tries on the wristband David managed to sneakily steal from the party, causing an alarm on it to go off. In order to prove herself, África suggests throwing a party to celebrate the anniversary of founding Eden; Astrid and Erick agree. However, it comes to an abrupt end when the screen suddenly changes to "Death to Astrid" after someone hacked into Mayka's laptop. Infuriated about this, Astrid arranges a meeting with Erick and the Level 2's council to have someone else take the blame. They vote against executing Zoa or Eloy and instead choose Claudia, who falsely claims that she is the culprit before being killed by Brenda and Orson.
7	"Lilith" ("Lilith")	Menna Fité	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
Zoa, África, Charly and Ibón walk through burning coal as a signification of them joining Eden. Eva and Alma are promoted to Level 2 as new members of the council and Ulises to Level 3. Astrid replaces Nico with Bel as Zoa's new link; the two spend time together and grow close to each other. Zoa, Ibón and Charly are planning their escape under Bel's secret rebellion (which Eva is also part of), but Ibón voices his interest in staying Eden because he doesn't want to return to his abusive father. Zoa convinces Bel to run away with her but she refuses since she intends on staying in order to save the rest of the people in Eden. The private investigator tells Zoa's mother that she disappeared the same day others who went to the island have as well. Gabi returns from San Sebastian but distrusts the investigator when she offers her assistance in locating Zoa, before the latter secretly steals the wristband from her. A masked figure breaks into Astrid and Erick's home and attacks them, resulting in the assailant stabbing Erick in the stomach before fleeing. She carries the wounded Erick to a secret compound of the island where they are met by Isaac, who is revealed to be the little boy Zoa saw earlier. David gets kidnapped by an external crew of Eden after the wristband caught his location.
8	"El viaje de vuelta" ("The Trip Back")	Daniel Benmayor	Joaquín Górriz and Guillermo López Sánchez	6 May 2022 (2022-05-06)
David is tortured by Eden's external crew over the stolen wristband. With his mother's life hanging by a thread, David reluctantly reveals that Gabi wore the wristband and that she lives in Barcelona, but he is killed anyway. The committee starts making plans for the upcoming Eden festival. Alma tells Ibón that all newcomers will be required to contribute at the festival, which frustrates Zoa and Charly because with someone keeping an eye on them this will completely interfere with their escape plan. The depressed Zoa steals a buggy car and drives to the beach, where Bel reassures her and promises to help them escape unnoticed. Nico has a confrontation with Bel for "stealing" Zoa from him, which escalates into a fight that Bel eventually wins. The investigator is close to finding the location of Eden. Isaac nurses Erick back to health. Sidelined because of her celebrity status, África sneaks into the compound using Ulises' acccess card, discovering a room with technical devices. She presses a button that sends a signal to outer space, but the elevator closes before she can leave, trapping her. Isaac gets the warning and the satellite antenna near him starts moving. As the festival begins, Bel, Eloy and Eva make a diversion to buy Zoa and Charly enough time to escape; Charly makes it to the boat in time but Mayka decides against reporting him. However, Zoa is caught by Ulises, who violently chokes her until Ibón comes to her defense and kills Ulises by drowning him, much to his and Zoa's horror; Eloy witnesses this and hides the body under the sea. However, just as Zoa is on the verge of escaping, she is shocked to see that Gabi has now arrived to the island. The season ends with an aerial zooming shot.
