Miguel goes into business with a shady new doc who wants to amp up Cadena's supplies, just as Chato gets into bed with a lady (Maria Conchito Alonso) with dangerous family ties. Meanwhile, Marlene's dirty little secret comes out in time to put half her family in joepardy; and Klein turns to a less-than-reliable source to improve his tragically compromised finances.

Tensions heighten between traffickers and law enforcers as a major bust is about to go down; the brutalization of Chato comes back to haunt the corrupt Lazarenos.
