Maria is caught between the jealous rage of both Fermin and Garza, with the former leaving physical marks on her and the latter kicking her out. Peter enlists the dogged Señor Pito to find Luba, and he does so, fulfilling his mission, then dying. Maria leaves Peter, whereabouts unknown. Gorgo tracks her down, but then lets her leave to California. Peter falls hard for pre-sex change Isobel, but then marries Luba after acting on Pito's information. Catching up to the early seventies, the postpartum Luba wakes up, still in the hospital, and finds Peter next to her, babbling and catatonic.
