We've been shuttling back and forth between the fincas in Chiapas, the City of Mexico and the WUN finca, La Tormenta.
We've watched a terrified Lucrecia imagining her worst enemy is stalking her. She wants round-the-clock bodyguards, and for her investigator to vite vite find that damned woman. Too bad it's all an illusion. Florencia is nothing but ashes.
