Character(s): Miguel; The Old Man; Detective Linda; Tomaso's Unnamed Female River Victim; Cathy; Bruce (Cathy's companion)
Synopsis: Young Casimira is in good condition because the bullet that passed through her only hit her shoulder, but she's lost her right arm. Borro confronts Tomaso but winds up being stabbed. The villagers soon after surround Tomaso. He stabs himself and later is jailed. Chelo convinces the newly pregnant Luba to run for alcaldesa. Tonantzin seems like she's back to normal, but more purposeful and lucid in her activism.
