Paula asks Andrés to help Santiago, a student with Asperger's who hasn't been in his classroom for two days and instead wanders the halls. Santiago is very intelligent, obsessive, and rational, and explains that he doesn't want to go to class because a classmate told him he has "a dead body in the closet," and he can't interpret metaphors . Meanwhile, Juana arrives at the office to deliver something to him, and Andrés has to kick her out for interrupting him and causing Santiago to have a meltdown by wearing purple clothes. Later, when he manages to dissuade Santiago from calling the police and listens to the full story to explain what really happened, he gets him to return to the classroom.
