In the 4268th episode of “Na Wspólnej”, airing Monday, August 31, 2026, at 20.15 on TVN, the family and friends of Maria Zięba gather for her final farewell, according to TVN and eska.pl source material. The sudden death of Maria—who passes away in an airplane—leaves her loved ones in deep grief, sparking dramatic developments that include a clandestine return to the show by Grzegorz Zięba.
Grzegorz Zięba Returns in Disguise for Maria’s Funeral
According to eska.pl and TVN reports, Grzegorz Zięba attends his mother’s funeral in secret to avoid endangering his family. Because he remains under the witness protection program with the legal status of a crown witness, he cannot approach his relatives openly. His daughter Mania, played by Zuzanna Kaszuba, still does not know that her father is actually alive. Spotting the mourners on the cemetery grounds, Żaneta, played by Anna Guzik, and Wojtek, played by Wojtek Błach, notice a man wearing a black hooded sweatshirt who turns out to be Grzegorz.
Juliusz Kwiatkowski Connects Grzegorz to the Family Tragedy
Police officers safeguarding Grzegorz under the witness protection program do not inform him of the death first. Instead, according to TVN and eska.pl, Juliusz Kwiatkowski uses his personal connections to track down Grzegorz, break the tragic news, and offer him support. This intervention allows Grzegorz to learn about his mother’s passing and make the risky journey to pay his respects from afar. The loss deeply impacts the entire Zięba household, visibly shattering Bogdan, played by Wojciech Brzeziński, alongside Monika, played by Sylwia Gliwa, and Renata, played by Marta Jankowska.

According to the production notes provided by TVN and eska.pl, the mourners include Maria’s husband Włodek, played by Mieczysław Hryniewicz, as well as Damian, played by Waldemar Błaszczyk, and Kajtek, played by Mikołaj Szostek.
