With each passing episode of Women in Blue, we think we’re getting closer to uncovering the identity of The Undresser, but the series continues to throw us curveballs. Episode 7 is no different, as the show maintains its focus on character development and feminist themes, while also diving into the emotional and professional struggles of its lead characters. María, Valentina, Gabina, and Ángeles find themselves delving into unsolved murders from the past, hoping to get closer to catching the elusive serial killer.
In this review, we’ll explore some of the key moments from Episode 7 and share our thoughts on how the story is progressing.
María and Ángeles Come Closer to the Truth
Episode 7 opens with a tense scene as Lucas, Valentina’s boyfriend, is rushed to the hospital after being attacked by The Undresser. A devastated Valentina, covered in blood, accompanies him in the ambulance, blaming herself for his condition. María comforts her at the hospital, as both women struggle to understand why Lucas was targeted. Lucas had published a letter from The Undresser in a newspaper in the previous episode, and it’s hinted that his attack may be related to uncovering information he wasn’t supposed to.

Valentina, dealing with intense guilt and grief, distances herself from her co-worker Gabina, while María confronts her own mother about family matters. Despite the turmoil in her personal life, María and Ángeles return to work, where they are handed cold cases involving missing or murdered women from the past 15 years. These cases could hold the key to identifying The Undresser, and the two detectives dive into their investigation, despite hitting a few dead ends along the way.
In a parallel storyline, María faces the challenge of balancing her demanding job with her responsibilities at home. Her daughter’s first period becomes an emotional moment, as all she wants is her mother’s comfort, highlighting the constant pull between María’s work and family life.

Gabina unknowingly encounters him on the bus and later agrees to meet him, setting up a potentially dangerous situation for her. This revelation is a key moment in the episode, as the detectives inch closer to the truth, and the audience is left wondering if Benito is indeed the killer they’ve been chasing.
