Plot summary

Ektora/Myrto/Stefanos/Nadia/Tania/Alexandros/Renos/ Antigoni - murder investigation

Two months after the murder Aphroditi has moved to London, and has asked a top ranking policeman named Thanasis Avgeris, who also happens to be Angelo's uncle to investigate his death. He goes under the alias Petros Karras and starts dating Myrto. Renos, also mysteriously returns to Greece after the murder. It is revealed through a series of flashbacks, that he met with Nadia in Spetses on the night Angelo was murdered. The three prime suspects for the murder, are Ektora, Myrto and Stefanos. However, Nadia, Renos, Tania and even Antigoni had motive to commit the murder. Everyone accuses each other of murdering Angelo, and Myrto and Ektora suffer a very strained relationship during this time. Stefanos and Nadia also suffer a strained relationship, and Stefanos becomes increasingly paranoid at everything that is happening around him. Tania and Alexandros also suffer a strained relationship, with Tania feeling very uncomfortable in Spetses unable to be anywhere near the scene of the crime.

Myrto is then under suspicion and when travelling in Malta with Petros Karras (Thanasis Avgeris), his partner Litra reopens the case with Myrto as the Prime suspect. Myrto is taken for a statement and is bought face to face with the man to whom she trusted. Myrto is then charged with the murder of Angelos Papadatos. Avgeris aka Karras then joins with Alexandros to discover the true murderer. We soon find out that Tania is the killer. Feeling very guilty she comes clean to Alexandros and wants to go and make her confession to save Myrto.

Police officer Thanasis Avgeris aka Petros Karras then interrogates Tania about the murder. Alexandros then tries to leave the country with Tania but are caught by the police. Avgeri then tricks Tania into believing that Alexandros gave himself up as the murderer. Not wanting Alexandros to take the blame she confesses. Tania then tries to commit suicide in jail, Alexandros breaks her out of hospital, only to have Tania give herself up so Alexandros doesn't get involved. Then refusing to speak to him. He then proposes to her saying he can't live without her.

As events unfold we see Alexandros trying to find evidence to clear Tania's name and in a video he filmed after Angello's murder shows Tania with no significant marks to show that she had fought with Angelo. Avgeris goes one last time to speak to Tania and asks her why did she hit him so many times and she responds that she only hit him once. He asks whether he was standing or had fallen. She replies he was still standing. With Avgeri's assistance they are on the track to figuring that Tania did not kill Angelo. As Avgeris believes that Tania is not the murderer he is called away with his ex-wife who is dying of cancer and has to leave with her overseas. He tells Alexandros to keep looking.

In the meantime Antigoni (Myrto and Stefano's daughter) comes back to Athens and we see her with visible marks on her arm, where we see that she may have been Angelo's killer.

Pavlos is distraught with the return of his sister Antigoni and tells his mother Myrto that he is moving out as he catches her in the company of Antigoni (whom he hates after she tormented her family by doing a deal with Angelo her fathers rival and holding a gun to Pavlos' head) Renos had told Pavlos in a prior episode that Antigoni was on the opposite island from Spetses.

Pavlos leaves to go to Alexandros when he receives a call that he is needed at Spetses then next day because there is a problem with the pool and all the tiles need to be removed, wanting a companion on the road he asks if Alexandros would like to come with him, Alexandros agrees wanting thinking it to be a good idea to have some company.

Christina/Pavlos/Ariadni love triangle

At the beginning of the third season, Christina and Pavlos are getting a divorce and fight constantly whenever they are near each other, or avoid each other completely. However, they later realise their love for each other, and decide that they will still get a divorce, but remain together as a couple. However, during this reunion, Pavlos resumed his relationship with Ariadni who claims that she doesn't mind that Pavlos is back together with Christina, but is secretly plotting her revenge.

Pavlos is then meeting with Ariadni when they hear shotguns and Pavlos goes to see if the person is wounded when he also gets shot. He tells Ariadni to stay and he goes to Ektora who takes him to the hospital under a false name. He and his family try to keep his meeting with Ariadni a secret. He then realises that he shouldn't treat Christina this was and breaks up with Ariadni.

Content on ruining Pavlos' life she then joins with Avgeri and labels people in his family as the murderers

After time Christina gets a call that the divorce has gone through. Realizing that she forgot to tell her lawyer to cancel the divorce. When Pavlos finds out he gets mad but then sees the romance in Marrying Christina again.

When Ariadni finds out she does everything she can to try and stop the wedding even go there on the day and say she was having an affair with Pavlos a second time. Renos and Dimitri makes sure she doesn't. But after the honeymoon she tells Christina finds out. She doesn't let this ruin her marriage with Pavlos and turns it around onto Ariadni saying she manipulated both she and Pavlos.

Athina/Antonis/Dimitri love triangle

However, on the day of her wedding her past lover Dimitri returns, whom she had lied to about her identity because she is a politician's daughter. He demands, that she shouldn't get married, however she does anyway, because she knows that she must since her husband works with her father politically. The marriage goes wrong very quickly, and Athina resumes her affair with Dimitri, after her husband hits her. She and Dimitri then escape and live in Renos apartment for a while until the scandal is created and so the couple go to spetses to get away from adonis who is stalking them. Adonis then follows them and whilst Dimitri is working (as a pilot) he gets the key to Athena's room and gives her 24 hours to come back to him. She refuses him. When he takes action and causes Dimitri distress, he goes again to her room and forces her to write a heartbreaking letter to Dimitri braking up with him and telling him that she is going back to Adonis.

She confronts him about it, and he says that he has been dating her for years. Elena, attempts suicide, in order to guilt Miltiadis into staying with her. However, she doesn't tell her daughter Athina why she tried to commit suicide afterwards, and uses it to her advantage.
