Season 7[]
Martín comes to visit his only child in Madrid after being away as he tries to recontrol the family business following Isadora's rape trial. However, his visit isn't out of love as he is trying to hide from some dangerous rivals.
Martín joyfully reunites with Isadora at her club when he is with Catalina, a judge who is corrupt and taking bribes from him. Roberta also shows up, but Isadora is not pleased to see her. Just as she inquires about her father's association with Catalina, police raid the place and arrest the drug dealers. The next morning, Catalina meets with Martín and Roberta, informing them that the club will not reopen as long as it stays under their name. Martín suggests making Isadora the owner, but Roberta rejects this as she doesn't want to involve their daughter in the business. He relays the information to Isadora, who decides to accept the offer.
On the day of Isadora's House reopening, Martín makes Isadora sign some papers approving the eviction and demolition of a building owned by the club that is allegedly in a decaying state. She is initially reluctant, but goes through with it. However, said building happens to house the apartment where Omar, Joel and Dalmar live as they get a court order to leave in ten days. After she is confronted about it, Dídac persuades her to call off the eviction. She refuses at first, but when it becomes clear that Martín won't let Catalina back out of the deal when she says it is "the last favor" she's doing for them, Isadora finally decides to not let the eviction take place. Angered, Martín approaches Dídac, accusing him of "brainwashing" his daughter and threatening to have him killed if he interferes in the family business again. Just then, Dídac's brother, Pau, arrives at the club and asks what's going on. Martín claims they were having a "friendly conversation" and leaves.
Later on, Isadora tells her parents that they are being investigated, but their reaction is an indifferent one as they know the police don't have any proof that can incriminate them. Isadora realizes that both the attempted shooting at the school and the poisoning of her mare Amazona were their doing to intensify the war with Dídac's family. Roberta sympathises with Isadora and begs Martín that they stop endangering their daughter. Isadora reveals that she has the trafficking documents that incriminate Catalina, which infuriates Martín. Isadora then arranges a meeting with Catalina to give her the documents back. Martín warns Isadora not to, but she has already made up her mind. However, Isadora tells her mother to stay behind. While they are at a restaurant, Isadora wonders why Catalina hasn't arrived yet. It is then when Martín reveals that he had sent Catalina a fake location on the roof and intends to dispose of her as she knows too much. He also severely criticizes her by agreeing with Roberta that Isadora is unfit to handle the business. Isadora defends herself by arguing that she should prioritise the business her way and not falter on her decisions. Martín looks worried and asks for the trafficking documents back, but Isadora reveals a mic and that she had turned in the documents to the police, having tricked her father into confessing to his crimes and he is arrested shortly afterwards.
