Nestor announces to Miguel, Devante and Emily that they have a location for the Los Olvidados camp after one of their street kids payed off. Nestor unveils a map and begins to plan. Dita arrives and says that Miguel has a phone call from someone called "Adelita". Devante quickly dials in and the woman on the other end speaks. She explains that she represents Los Olvidados and has the demands to return Cristobal. Adelita demands 7 million pesos in cryptocurrency and that Miguel crosses the border to Mexico alone and then she will tell him where his son is. After the call ends, Miguel tells Emily to prepare the money and for Nestor to hit the location they have for the camp and to kill everyone.
Miguel, Emily, Devante and Dita travel to the border as Miguel prepares to cross to retrieve Cristobal. Devante walks with Miguel and he tells him that as soon as he has Cristobal to make the call to Nestor to breach the camp. Miguel appears again soon, clutching Cristobal and Devante phones Nestor to inform him that Cristobal is safe and he and his team should breach the camp.

The family are enjoying their evening when suddenly the lights in the house go out. Sensing something is wrong Miguel sends Nestor to investigate and quickly follows, outside he is apprehended by armed police. He stares sadly as Emily finally exits the house, knowing dark times are ahead.
"Serpiente/Chikchan"[]
Miguel speaks to Devante, he has ordered him to sweep the whole house for listening devices, Devante confirms so far it's clean but wants to wait until Dita and Emily are out of the house before finishing. Whilst in custody Miguel made a deal with the government to keep the cartel alive, similar to what Jose did. The pair head downstairs to meet with Emily. Devante is horrified when Miguel explains that he is going to work with Los Olvidados to keep the government at bay; they will give them just enough information to make them feel like they're in control but the majority of their work will still be secret. Devante tries to convince Miguel that allying himself with Los Olvidados is a mistake and that allying with Lincoln Potter, the assistant district attorney leading the case against the cartel is the safest option for them.
Devante enters the study once more and Miguel explains to him that he was right and he will be following his advice, Nestor has also been successful in getting an ally of Adelita to lure her out so the cartel can finally take care of her. Devante tells Miguel he has made the right choice to which he wryly smiles, telling him he knows.
The club and cartel head out to the casino to meet with Miguel for the first time since he was released from custody. They sit down and he begins explaining that he has signed a deal, similar to one that his father signed 10 years ago. He goes on to explain that while he was detained at the border he was approached by someone else and offered a deal, that person was Adelita, better known as Luisa. The club are astounded at what they are seeing and hearing. Luisa then addresses everyone in attendance and her and Miguel confirm they are no longer enemies but are in fact partners.
Devante is distraught at the turn of events emphasizing that they don't know anything about Adelita, while in the car he asks Miguel the meaning behind his actions, Miguel then reveals that he's aware of Devante's lie which has caused the trust to be broken. Devante had lied all along about the fate of Miguel's brother, he was never killed by a cartel. As they exit the car he then reveals another truth to him, that Adelita is the daughter of Pedro Espina, whom Devante killed years ago, and that he is being offered as retribution in order to deepen the trust between the cartel and Los Olvidados. Devante tells Miguel that he forced Dita to lie and the two men part ways on relatively good but scarred terms.
Miguel then offers Adelita a machete to enact her vengeance just like he killed her family with, to settle the family debt with her. Devante is later seen decapitated by Adelita.
