Breathless Season 2 is streaming on Netflix.

The platform's Spanish medical drama series follows the lives of doctors and patients in the Joaquín Sorolla public hospital in Valencia, Spain. The sophomore outing was just as intense, filled with many betrayals, twists and turns.

Season 2 of Breathless opened in the aftermath of Jesica's stabbing and she was still in critical condition, re-opening her wounds in a state of hysteria and deciding between her two love interests, Lluis and Biel. Biel's father, Nicolas, stepped up as the new head of Joaquin Sorolla Hospital and made some questionable decisions.

After the privatization teased in the first season, the hospital remained understaffed and under-resourced, creating pressure for the existing medical staff. As Nicolas and Biel try to repair their fractured relationship, the arrival of a new doctor shakes the foundations of their new bond.

Elsewhere, Quique started a new romance with Jon, a fellow doctor. While their newfound romance was going strong throughout Breathless Season 2, with Quique even adjusting well with Jon's daughter, Lola, it ended on a harrowing note. After Quique's ecstasy landed in Lola's hands, she ended up in the ER in the finale. While the doctors managed to save her, Quique's dr*g addiction could end his relationship with Jon.

Here is the complete Breathless Season 2 ending explained.

Amidst Sorolla Hospital's privatization and the chaotic aftermath of Jesica's attack, Breathless Season 2 saw a new addition. As Nicolas takes the reins of the hospital, he welcomes Sophie Lafont, who is assigned as the Head of Oncology. Sophie's arrival is important as she is also running a revolutionary experiment that promises to make patients cancer-free. President Patricia saw a ray of hope in Sophie's promise and volunteered to join in to be cancer-free before her re-election.

However, Nestor, Pilar and Biel remain suspicious of Sophie's experiment, especially because the latter was working on the experiment as an intern. Sophie not only had an ambiguous reputation but her constant habit of changing hospitals made her even more suspicious for the trio.

In the Season 2 ending, Biel managed to fake a Code Red to go through Sophie's data. As it turns out, Sophie had modified the data and numbers for her treatment to make her experiment appear more favourable and attract more volunteers. The actual statistical success rate of her experiment was 40% and not 60% as she had everyone believe.


Breathless Season 2 ending explained: Was Sophie's secret outed?

In the Breathless Season 2 ending, Pilar, Beil and Nestor were adamant on calling the cops on Sophie, without tipping off Nicolas. However, Biel slipped off and outed their secret in front of his father, Nicolas, thus warning him about Sophie's impending arrest. However, Nestor's plan was a failure as the authorities never came to investigate Sophie because she was mysteriously tipped off.

While Biel suspected this was his father's doing, Nicolas maintained that he was innocent. In an intense confrontation over the phone, Nicolas loses his attention and gets brutally sideswiped by a truck. Since his fate was left uncertain, this is one of the major cliffhangers for the upcoming season.

Secondly, since Sophie had mysterious connections to higher-ups, it is possible that Nicolas did not tip her off and she was saved by someone else. But Breathless Season 2 did not reveal who tipped Sophie off.


Breathless Season 2 ending explained: Is President Patricia cancer-free?

A major plot for Breathless Season 2 was President Patricia's cancer treatment with Sophie. Sophie's numbers might have been fake but the treatment was working for Patricia. She desperately wanted to be cancer-free as her re-election was near and she had also made a fake announcement in front of the public that she had beaten her cancer. In the final moments of Season 2, Nestor warned Patricia about Sophie's impending arrest, which would halt Patricia's treatment.

While Nestor tried to secure the last dose of Patricia's treatment, Sophie's lab was already swiped clean. Despite her uncertainty, Patricia finally wins the campaign and gets re-elected as the President. However, this happy news came with a dose of uncertainty as she is yet to receive the last leg of Sophie's treatment, without which, she is not completely cancer-free.

Breathless Season 2 is streaming on Netflix.
