When we spoke to Manolo Cardona back in April, he teased the arrival of "a very important character," and it seems the "Who Killed Sara?" star was talking about Nicandro. After we were led to believe he had died before the events of the show's first season, it was a surprise to see just how big of a role Rodolfo's former best friend plays in the mystery.
Nicandro spends most of the season in the background under the guise of just wanting closure with everyone from Sara and Álex to Marifer. However, his true motives are later revealed when we learn through a flashback that not only did Sara and Nicandro sell drugs together, but she also tried to kill him.
In the final moments of the second season finale, Nicandro is seen rummaging through a file cabinet before finding Sara's medical records. Her records indicate that she was the "first patient of the project." Nicandro then calls Dr. Alanis, the same doctor Álex visited to find out more about his sister's condition, and reveals that the doctor took a bribe from his father and that it's better everyone believes Marifer killed Sara. While we now know that Nicandro and Dr. Alanis are technically the ones behind Sara's death, we later find out that they weren't the ones who actually killed her.
