Diego de la Vega returns to California to avenge his father's murder and assumes the title of Zorro.

After the kiss between Gabriella and Zorro, Diego decides to get rid of his double's costume. With his face uncovered and the support of the law, he's determined to put an end to Don Emmanuel's slavery!

After the casino opened, tokens became the only currency in town. Worse, while the people refused to pay taxes to rebuild the water tower, they didn't hesitate to donate their money to erect a gold statue of Zorro!

Zorro is drunk with joy after his night with Gabriella... and Diego is drunk with pain. If only they weren't the same man! Stunned by his jealousy, Zorro asks Gabriella to do the impossible: choose between him and Diego.

With Diego having abandoned his home, Zorro takes up residence at the De La Vega hacienda. But the hero of the night is not used to the demands of the day...

With Zorro gone, Diego hopes to win back Gabriella's heart, but she refuses to believe in the hero's death. Diego insists he's been found and a procession is on the way! Under Bernardo's reproachful gaze, Diego must face up to his lie.
